EmptyCartridge recycling Ltd

Collecting and recycling your company's used cartridges can save money on waste disposal and the costs of replacement cartridges, as well as helping your company fulfil its Duty of Care - Empty cartridge Ltd is a registered waste carrier. 

Businesses' extensive usage of printer cartridges makes recycling by individual companies a vital element in environmental protection. During the year 2000, over 48 million ink jet and over 7 million laser toner cartridges were consumed in the United Kingdom - many of these will have been used by businesses like yours. 

Empty printer cartridges and mobile phones in most cases have a value that would be paid either directly to your account, or make a donation of the value across a broad range of UK charities or to the charity of your choice.

while saving the planet

As well as cutting down on office or household waste, and saving money on on-going business or home printing costs, ink cartridge recycling helps to protect the environment in various ways.

Firstly, up to 85-90% of the material used for cartridges is reusable. Recycling these products lessens the need for large-scale production of this important office and home equipment. Not only does this help contribute towards a reduction in carbon emissions; it also preserves the planet’s natural resources that are used in ink printer cartridge production.

Limiting our impact on the environment

Recycling these items also directly reduces the amount of non-perishable material that is added to our waste disposal.

With the continual build-up of non-biodegradable waste, landfill sites get bigger and more numerable. This is to the detriment of areas of natural beauty and a great deal of this non-biodegradable material causes direct ground pollution. Incineration of these materials may produce further pollution, in the form of potentially harmful gas emissions.
