Cartridge Recycling

Cartridges 4 Planet Ark

According to Planet Ark, 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. That's why Planet Ark set up 'Cartridges 4 Planet Ark'.
