Why should you recycle your ink cartridges?

Everybody uses ink and toner cartridges, but not everybody recycles them.

Did you know …

• More than 40 Million Ink Jet Cartridges and dumped each year in the UK alone.
• More than 1.1 Billion Ink Jet Cartridges are used annually around the world. Laid end to end this would be 129 times as long as the Great Wall of China!
• If you dispose of your Printer Cartridges in the bin they will take 1000 years to decompose.
• Industry analysts estimate an empty ink cartridge can be reused or remanuactured up to 7 times and every cartridge remanufactured is one less item going directly to the landfill.
• Laser printer cartridges (Toners) account for over 90% of all throw-away cartridges.
• A Toner laser cartridge thrown into landfill can take up to 450 years to decompose.

We can recycle most branded and compatible/remanufactured ink cartridges and most branded original toner cartridges. (Unfortunately we are unable to recycle any compatible or remanufactured toner cartridges) You can sign up using the below forms:
