I didn't know that they didn't resuse the materials? Come to think of
it they would be difficult to clean out and a costly endeavor. If that
IS accurate then the whole Epson Recycling Program is a total fraud
and should be exposed as such! Putting waste into the air rather than
landfils isn't accomplishing anything but an illusion of environmental
responsibility (what else is new). If what you say is true that's
pretty significant for the arguement for a refillable system, which is
really what we should have for everything.
