New Self-Replenishing and Online Tracking Features Make it Easier
to Recycle Used Cartridges NAPERVILLE, Ill., July 18 /PRNewswire/
-- OfficeMax(R) Incorporated (NYSE:OMX), a leader in office
products and services, today announced it has launched a new
Recycling Program through its MaxPerks(SM) membership program. The
OfficeMax MaxPerks Recycling Program provides customers with a
comprehensive system to collect and redeem recyclable office items
such as used ink and toner cartridges and cell phones with battery.
After enrolling in the program, customers can select the recycle
container size that best fits their needs and one will be shipped
at no cost. When the full container is returned, a new container is
automatically shipped to the customer for more recycle collection.
For every qualified ink cartridge and cell phone with battery
returned to OfficeMax, customers will earn a $3 reward in their
MaxPerks account. The MaxPerks online tracking feature provides a
record for each return and redemption, particularly beneficial for
business accounting or fund raising activities that require
regularly updated results. To view the Multimedia News Release, go

customers that they want to do more with their recycling efforts
but they don't know how to get started," said Ryan Vero, executive
vice president and chief merchandising officer for OfficeMax. "Ink
and toner cartridges and cell phones are common disposable items
that take up a lot of room in a landfill. By providing free
collection materials and an online tracking system, this new
program enables MaxPerks customers -- from students and teachers to
small business owners -- to start an on-going Recycling Program and
earn rewards along the way." Through its retail store Recycling
Program, OfficeMax has already collected and remanufactured more
than 13 million ink cartridges since 2005. But cartridge recycling
is just one component of the complete OfficeMax ink solution. To
start, OfficeMax provides a full range of options for all ink and
toner needs, with a complete selection of manufacturer or private
label cartridges. OfficeMax is also the first office product
retailer to provide an ink cartridge refill service, using a
state-of-the-art computerized kiosk that analyzes the cartridge
quality and print performance. When used cartridges are recycled at
an OfficeMax retail store, OfficeMax provides a $3 instant discount
on any in-store purchase. To read more recycling facts related to
