Protect The Environment
More than 1.1 billion inkjet cartridges are used annually around the world - laid end to end this would be 129 times as long as the Great Wall of China. Approximately 3.5 litres of oil are required to produce each new laser printer cartridge and 90 ml of oil is used to produce each inkjet cartridge.
Each discarded empty laser printer cartridge adds approximately three pounds of waste to our landfills. The plastic used in a typical cartridge is made of engineering grade polymers and is expected to take up to 1000 years to decompose
Fact Sheet
More than 30 million inkjet cartridges are dumped each year in the SOUTH AFRICA-(1800 tonnes) - the same weight as 18 Blue Whales
