If you scanned a QR code and saw something like ZS16343X64189W2 / ZS17768X64966W2 / ZS17769X64967W2 / ZS17770X64207W2 / ZS17771X64968W2, don’t worry - it’s just a reference used by our recycling partner to track which country the return came from. This helps us keep accurate counts of inks recycled through Crazy Kangaroo.
