Every year, millions of used ink cartridges end up in landfill – most of them made from plastic that takes hundreds of years to break down. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Recycling your ink cartridges is one of the simplest ways to cut down on plastic waste and help protect the environment.
Why Are Ink Cartridges a Problem?
Ink cartridges are made from high-grade plastic and metal, which require significant resources to produce. When thrown away, they don’t decompose – they just sit in landfill, releasing harmful chemicals over time.
How Recycling Makes a Difference
♻️ Reduces Waste
Every cartridge recycled is one less in landfill. It’s estimated that over 375 million cartridges are thrown away globally each year – that’s a lot of plastic avoided when we recycle.
⚙️ Supports Reuse and Refurbishment
Many recycled cartridges are refilled or refurbished for reuse. This reduces the need for new plastic production and cuts emissions from manufacturing.
🌍 Conserves Resources
Recycling saves raw materials, energy, and water that would otherwise be used to make brand new cartridges.
