GreenWave's mission is to unite the community by teaching personal sustainability, recycling, and environmental awareness. Their legacy project, RecycleINK has had a large impact on the environment. This year, they are exploring developing a new project, and want to unite the community through environmental awareness and efforts.

Legacy Project
RecycleINK |
Nationwide, on average 2.5 million ink cartridges are annually recycled. That's a large number, but small in comparison to the 10 million ending up in landfills. Recycling ink cartridges has many positive impacts to our earth, such as reducing air and water pollution, saving energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, we are working to create a more sustainable environment.
This year, we are excited to pass this project off to a high school honor society. We will be conducting workshops to teach them our process and empowering them to carry the project on. They will be able to use the revenue as a source of fundraising for their team.
