| OfficeMax to install
kiosks for refilling of printer cartridges March 27 -- OfficeMax Inc. is installing kiosks at nearly 900 stores to allow customers to refill empty printer inkjet cartridges, which could save them hundreds of thousands of dollars while benefiting the environment. The service will save consumers up to 50 percent over buying a new cartridge. An OfficeMax employee manning the filling station will run a diagnostic check to ensure that the cartridges are reusable and to remove leftover ink before refilling them. Cartridges can be recycled four to 10 times before having to be recycled. The program will eliminate thousands of pounds of plastic waste, said Ryan Vero, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer for the Itasca, Ill.-based office products company.
