Our Commitment

With the environment in forefront of our mind, our aim is to reduce a cartridge’s carbon footprint. Every year, over 1.1 billion non-biodegradable empty printer cartridges are used globally, and over 350 million tons are just thrown away and will eventually end up in landfill sites!

Every cartridge that ends up in landfill contributes to long-term environmental harm. Ink and toner cartridges are made with plastics, metals, and chemical residues that take centuries to degrade. By recycling printer cartridges responsibly, we prevent these materials from polluting our soil and water systems.

Our mission goes beyond collection. We advocate for a shift in mindset—encouraging everyone to consider the lifecycle of their printing supplies and take responsibility for their waste.

We will not stop until every single cartridge is recycled!
