Staples has a really cool green product that just launched! Just in time for Earth Day, Staples is carrying the Sustainable Earth Brand Calculator that is made from recycled ink and toner cartridges that Staples collects from its customers as part of its Staples Rewards® program.
So recycle your ink and toner to make calculators! And this is the week to recycle! Usually Staples will give you $2 per recycled ink cartridge. Starting on Sunday, April 10-16, 2011, Staples will reward it’s recycling rewards members with $5 a cartridge in Staples Rewards! You know that’s why I save mine up! You need to spend $50 on HP ink and you can recycle up to 20 cartridges at the higher $5 amount next week.
When the rewards come in you can rush out to buy the above pictured calculator, made from these same recycled ink and toner cartridges. Isn’t that the circle of life?
Other Green Products:
Staples’ Sustainable Earth Multi-Purpose Cleaner is an eco-conscious cleaner that was formulated in partnership with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exclusively for Staples and meets the Green Seal environmental standard for household cleaners. The cleaner is perfect for cleaning off a shelf or washing off kids’ finger prints from windows to help make your home feel fresh for spring. It also helps to minimize environmental impact both in general and inside your home, leaving walls, countertops, desks, cabinets and other water-washable surfaces streak free, without the harsh chemical smell.
Staples has tons of other cool green products as well including a Bamboo USB Flash Drive (made from recycled bamboo) and notebooks made from recycled sugarcane instead of paper from trees.
You know Staples is one of my favorite stores, I now have even more reasons to shop there, we all need to help the environment, 1 piece of recycled material at a time!
Disclosure: I received the calculator and some cleaning fluid to sample. All opinions are always 100% my own.
