Cartridge World is a business specialising in retailing ink and toner cartridges for domestic and commercial computer printers. Cartridge World also franchises these outlets. The business model is to refill OEM printer cartridges and to sell the cartridges cheaper than the branded products. Empty cartridges are obtained by encouraging users to recycle them in-store or elsewhere.
