Recycling program
Did you know that KOPYR has a program to recycle your old ink and toner cartridges?
Each year over 375 million empty ink and toner cartridges are thrown away with most ending up in landfills or in incinerators.
To put this in perspective the 375 million cartridges per year amounts to disposal of
• 1,000,000 cartridges per day
• 11 cartridges per second
• 375 million cartridges put end to end would circle the earth three times.
In North America, more than 40,000 tons of plastic and metal is saved from landfills annually because of cartridge recycling. For every 100,000 used cartridges recycled, we can save 9599 kilograms of aluminum, 40 tons of plastic, and 1,000,000 liters of oil. Ink cartridge recycling has virtually become synonymous with successful sustainable development.
Part of loving our customers is doing our part in keeping our planet green. If we service, your products your technician will recycle your old ink cartridges and toners for you. Not on a service plan? No problem! Simply bring in your used cartridges and we will recycle them for you.
