the business
We throw away more than 18 million printer cartridges every year, contributing to the growing amount of e-waste and leading to possible soil and groundwater contamination. Printer cartridges are made up of a complex mix of plastics, metal, inks and toners, resources that are lost when the cartridges are sent to landfill. Planet Ark is urging Frankston businesses and residents to stop this waste by taking part in Cartridges 4 Planet Ark. Cartridges 4 Planet Ark provides Australians with a free, easy and environmentally-accredited way to recycle their used printer cartridges, and Planet Ark hopes it will help divert 34 million cartridges from landfill before the end of March next year. Cartridge manufacturers Brother, Canon, Epson, HP,
Konica Minolta and Kyocera have joined the initiative to collectively take responsibility for the end life of their products, and many councils and businesses have established their own cartridge collection depots. If your business goes through more than three cartridges a month on average, you can get a collection box at your workplace that will be periodically collected. You can also find the nearest collection bin by visiting RecyclingNearYou.com.au or phoning 1800 242 473, and there are recycling boxes at participating Officeworks, Australia Post, Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Good Guys, Office National and Office Products Depot stores and outlets. Seventimes world champion surfer Layne Beachley is the campaign’s ambassador. Inkjet cartridges, toner cartridges and toner bottles are accepted, including cartridges used in printers, photocopiers and fax machines.
