AUSTRALIA:CARTRIDGES FOR PLANET ARK COLLECTS 10,000,000TH CARTRIDGE
In
the seven years its been running, Planet Ark has recycled 10 million
printer ink cartridges. That’s about 4700 tonnes of waste that didn’t
go straight to landfill. That’s a pretty good effort, but I reckon we
can do better.Because of the plastics and metals in printer cartridges,
they take a long time to break down in landfill. But they can be
relatively easily recycled, either being reused by printer
manufacturers or recycled into new products.To find the nearest place
to recycle your cartridges, point your browser at
cartridges.planetark.org. It may take a little bit of extra effort, but
it has a real benefit for the environment, so you should do it anyway.
