OPRA/Global Re-Source Funding

Since 1995, OPRA has been a worldwide industry leader in creating new opportunities to keep products out of landfills and back in the hands of consumers. Global Re-Source Funding, formerly Rethink Ink, was formed two years later as a subsidiary to head OPRA’s end-user collections.  The program pays participating organizations for used ink/toner cartridges, cell phones, iPods and laptops and offers several different promotions throughout the year in addition.  These items are then diverted from the landfills and sent to certified remanufacturing companies to be refurbished, lowering the depletion of resources required to manufacture new items.
