Since 1995 Sterling Laser has produced over 180,000 toner cartridges. We are in the process of expanded our business and now offer our services to SW Washington and the Portland area. Why does a product we use once, a toner cartridge, come in a container that lasts 500 years or more?? It doesn't make sense to recycle it as it does to reuse it. That's what we do at Sterling Laser. We reuse the same core three times and on the 4th recycle it. This puts it in a closed-loop environmentally. It wastes too much energy to recycle these so stop thinking recycling is the best way. Not only is this a green sustainable product, it saves you money on your printing. Remember, companies that have been in business for over 15 yrs. get there buy being good at what they do and we are.
