Posted by: Brad Roderick
Green Results
Hangers Cleaners initially came to life when Owner Joe Runyan became dissatisfied with cleaning materials on the market and turned to a green concept, utilizing carbon that would revolutioize the industry. “I was hooked,” said Runyan. “So, I started a green dry cleaner.” Shortly thereafter, Runyan opened the first eco-friendly dry cleaning business in Kansas City of its kind.
Green Success
Although Runyan has not been able to measure specific green results, it is clear that grenk has played a vital role in his business and promotion of green initiatives. “It is just a part of our overall effort. Our employees and guests see that we are ‘walking the talk’ when it comes to green,” Runyan said.

Recycling Ink and Toner Cartridges to Help Eliminate E-Waste from Landfills
A big thanks to the Recycler, a trade magazine that focuses on toner and inkjet cartridge recycling, for recently featuring InkCycle for its use of YouTube to encourage cartridge recycling.
Brad Roderick, executive vice president of InkCycle in Lenexa, Kansas, reviews the process of recycling ink and toner cartridges at InkCycle to help eliminate e-waste from landfills.
Roderick explains that the first steps include taking the toners apart to see what’s inside of them, replacing the critical wear components, cleaning out excess toner and getting them back to a state where they are ready for repair and refurbishment.
Roderick discusses the final step of recycling an ink and toner cartridge after one is placed into a live printer and prints a series of pages to ensure that when it’s taken out of the box that the print performance at the end of the production process is up to the standards that will satisfy the consumer.
InkCycle produces a recycled ink and toner cartridge called grenk. Grenk is designed to leave the smallest environmental footprint possible.
