Empty Cartridges

30,000,000 Empty Inkjet Cartridges Thrown Away Each Year!

In the UK alone it is estimated that more than 30 million empty inkjet cartridges are thrown into landfill sites every year. Worldwide this figure increases to over 375 million.

Recycling inkjet cartridges decreases the amount of waste that is put into our landfills.

We want to help reduce landfills and recycle more products. You can help us by returning your empty inkjet cartridges. By recycling them we can help to protect the environment, safeguard our health and save energy. We do this in three ways:

• By halting the massive drain on our natural resources - a new cartridge uses 2.8 Litres of oil to make!
• By avoiding burning massive amounts of rubbish, which releases harmful toxins into the atmosphere.
• By reducing the already overburdened landfill sites. These sites contain ever-increasing millions of cubic feet of non-biodegradable material, which can take over 1,000 years to biodegrade.

How Many Times Can You Recycle My Inkjet Cartridge?
