Printer cartridge facts
Around 25 million homes in the UK contain at least one computer and most of these homes own a printer.

The average household uses about three inkjet cartridges each year.

Around 65 million printer cartridges are sold in the UK. Currently only 15% of these are recycled.

The other 85% go to landfill sites, and since a typical cartridge is made of materials that can take up to 1,000 years to decompose, they will sit there for a long time.

Remanufactured printer cartridges made from recycled cartridges can cost as little as 10% of the cost of a new cartridge.

So – if you recycle your cartridges and buy remanufactured ones, you are reducing the harmful effect on the environment.
