I've just checked out a couple of Lexmark ink cartridge boxes. They all state that the cartridge is "intended for single use only" but that box is made of 100% recyclable cardboard and some even say "please recycle". How is it that it is OK to reuse the box which most people throw away, but the cartridge which is monstrously less biodegradeable must be destroyed. Save the forest, burn Lexmark?
