The Facts

  • More than 30 million inkjet cartridges are dumped each year in the UK (1800 tonnes) - the same weight as 18 Blue Whales.
  • Worldwide this figure increases to over 375 million.
  • Statistics reveal that only 5% of all empty inkjet cartridges are currently being recycled.
  • More and more inkjet cartridges than ever are being thrown away each year. Email has increased the amount of paper used in offices by almost 40%.
  • Plastics used in inkjet cartridges can take over 10 centuries (1000 years!) to decompose
  • 90ml of oil is used to produce each inkjet cartridge.
  • In the last six months alone, inkjet cartridge recycling has saved more than 50 million liters of oil. This is more oil than what was tragically spilled by the Exxon Valdez in Alaska's Prince William Sound in 1989.
  • Carbon-based gas is a major cause of global warming. Inkjet cartridge recycling helps reduce carbon emissions as well as to conserve resources and reduce waste.

Join our recycling program today!
Our recycling program is FREE to join and beneficial to both you and the environment. We even pay for all the collection costs. Best of all, you are rewarded with cash for each empty inkjet cartridge that we receive from you. Although your contributions might seem minimal, please remember...... Every Little Helps!


How does it work?

1. Start collecting your empty inkjet cartridges.
Start by asking all your friends and colleagues to stop throwing away all their empty inkjet cartridges. Find an empty cardboard box and simply ask them to save each empty inkjet cartridge as they replace them.
A complete list of all the empty inkjet cartridges we currently purchase, together with the purchase prices is detailed at the bottom of this page.

2. Pack your empty inkjet cartridges.
Carefully pack your cartridges to avoid damage during transit. We recommend each cartridge should be individually wrapped using newspaper.

3. Include your details.
Please include the following details with your empty inkjet inkjet cartridges:
• Contact Name.
• Your full address.
• Telephone number.
• A list (including quantities) of the empties being returned.
• Details for payment - Please specify individual name, company name, organisation, charity, school or fundraising project.

6. Payment.
If you are an Ink2U.co.uk customer the value of the empties will be stored on your account and deducted from your next order (unless the amount exceeds £25 in which case if instructed, we will forward payment by cheque instead).

lf you are not an Ink2U.co.uk customer the empty cartridges will be checked through and a cheque will be sent to the address provided.

7. Qualifying cartridges and their corresponding values:
"Virgin" and "Non Virgin" refers to the current condition of the Inkjet Cartridges being returned.

A Virgin Cartridge is a once used empty.

A Non-Virgin Cartridge has been refilled or remanufactured at least once before. As a result of this it is much less likely to be successfully recycled in future, and is therefore less valuable.

Of the inkjet cartridges accepted by this scheme both Virgin and Non-Virgin cartridges can be returned for recycling by us.
