Inkjet cartridges recycling appeal
College Recycling Helps Local Wildlife
4th February 2009
At the College’s IT User Committee it was decided to donate our used inkjet printer cartridges to Herefordshire Nature Trust’s recycling appeal.
Inkjet cartridges are consumed by offices and individuals at an alarming rate, an amazing 375 million were dumped in our landfill sites last year alone. It is estimated that each cartridge will take around 1000 years to decompose. Most inkjet cartridges can be cleaned and refilled and reused, thus diverting waste from landfill and providing a lower cost product for the printing market.
Herefordshire Nature Trust has teamed up with Redeem plc to launch a recycling campaign to collect unwanted used inkjet cartridges to help raise funds to support their work. Individuals can also help by donating their own ink cartridges and any unwanted old mobile phone handsets.
