About Printer Cartridges
- Australians throw away more than 18 million printer cartridges every year.
- This amounts to over 5,000 tonnes of material, including laser toner cartridges, inkjet cartridges, photocopier toner bottles and drums, that will eventually end up in landfill.
- When printer cartridges break apart in landfill, they have the potential to contaminate groundwater and the environment.
About Printer Cartridge Recycling
- All types and brands of printer cartridges used in printers, photocopiers, multi-function centres and fax machines can be placed in the 'Cartridges 4 Planet Ark' box.
- This includes inkjet cartridges, laser cartridges, toner bottles, fuser and drum units, fax rolls, print heads, waste hoppers / containers collectors and kits.
- All of the printer cartridges recycled by Planet Ark's partner Close the Loop® are done so with zero waste to landfill. To date this industry-funded Planet Ark program has recycled more than 12 million cartridges via 30,000 businesses and over 3,000 retail outlets.
- The 'Cartridges 4 Planet Ark' program is an example of an extended producer responsibility program. The five participating manufacturers, Brother, Canon, Epson, Konica Minolta and Lexmark, pay for the collection and recycling of their cartridges. They are taking responsibility for the cartridges they produce.
