Environment

Cartridges take 450 years to decompose, and it is estimated that more than 50 million are thrown into landfills every year. So do your bit – and let us refill yours!

From the very start, Cartridge UK was set up with some simple objectives – to provide great value printing products, in an environmentally responsible way. Saving money goes hand in hand with saving resources, so join Cartridge UK in recycling rather than binning empty cartridges.

Our environmental principles:

Always recycle
Our business is built on refilling ink and toner cartridges – so we look forward to receiving empty cartridges from all our customers. In the unlikely event that a cartridge can’t be refilled we will still break it down and ensure the materials are recycled appropriately.

Minimise the miles
When delivering to our business customers, we collect their empties at the same time. We use the most efficient delivery and collection mechanism possible – post, courier, our own very low emissions Smart Car – to keep our environmental footprint small.

Keep it local
We refill and remanufacture all ink and toner cartridges at our own local premises – not at some factory miles away or even in another country.

Minimise packaging
We use as little packaging as possible, while still ensuring your products arrive in good condition. And we reuse or recycle as much as we can – and actively encourage our customers to do likewise.
