Greener
- Every year the UK disposes of around 45 million printer cartridges weighing up to 28,000 tonnes*
- Each one takes up to1,000 years to decompose**
- Of these, most can be reused, yet only 29% are being refilled by companies like Cartridge World
- But, cartridge recycling could save 15 million litres of oil in the UK in just 12 months
- Every business that joins us helps us to reduce this tragic and unnecessary waste of natural resources and landfill space
Cleaner
- And it’s not just the waste we can save – together we can cut CO2 too
- A three month study of one of our stores concluded that remanufacturing just one cartridge saves around 2.5kg of CO2 compared to producing a new one***
- Look at our stores nationwide and that’s a saving of 1,100 tonnes of CO2
- Equivalent to energy used during 900 flights from London to New York
- Or the entire energy supplied to 200 UK homes in a year
- Every business that joins us helps to cut this carbon footprint even further
