4 Why Recycle? With today's environmental concerns and growing pressure on landfill it is becoming more important than ever for businesses to recycle whenever and wherever they can. Let s look at just a few of the reasons Landfill sites are filling up & we are simply running out of room to bury our waste! Each year millions of inkjet & toner cartridges are sent to landfill in the UK that s a mountain of plastic & other valuable resources that could be re-used or recycled being buried under the ground for no good reason. Each cartridge & inkjet takes hundreds of years to breakdown & some parts may never fully biodegrade, plus the inks and toners used are, in many cases, classified as hazardous waste. The major component in each cartridge is plastic, & one of the major ingredients used to produce plastic is oil. It takes about a litre of oil to produce one little inkjet and around three and a half litres to produce a toner cartridge. Picture again that mountain of empty cartridges being thrown away each year rather than being re-used or recycled demand for inkjets and toners continues to grow so why use millions and millions of gallons of virgin oil to produce new ones rather than simply reusing those we ve already produced? Producing new is a massive waste of a precious natural resource & with rising oil prices it s a cost that impacts on our pockets. Added to that, environmental legislation is growing all the time as is the requirement for businesses to have robust environmental quality management systems recycling your office consumables helps to support the growing green agenda. When you recycle with us we will issue duty of care certificates to enable you to demonstrate your green credentials. That s just a few examples of the reasons to and benefits of recycling our empty printer cartridges and other office waste it really is simple you just need a separate recycling bin for each waste type, - Impact Inkjet & Toner Recycler will take care of the rest! We make it as simple and cost effective as possible for you to recycle your unwanted office consumables and offer a reliable 'on demand' collection service for businesses based in Kent and London.
