Audlem Guides Recycle Ink Cartridges

Recycle your ink cartridges with Audlem Guides

Please leave them in any of our other terracycle recycling boxes outside Audlem Scout and Guide Hall.

A few facts taken from the ink cartridge recycling website:

• 300 million inkjets sold in Europe per year
• Only 15% of all inkjets sold are remanufactured
• 45 million cartridges end up in landfill in the UK
• Cartridges can take up to 1000 years to decompose
• The lifespan of ink cartridges can be optimised by reusing & recycling them as many times as possible
• Reusing and repurposing doesn't create pollution. Rather, items are made useful as they are.
• 90% of people say they would reuse and recycle more if it were made easier
• A reused product can be back on the shelves again within a single month
• Reusing and recycling creates 6 times more jobs than landfilling and 36 times more than incinerating

And almost as important, the money raised from Audlem's ink cartridges will be put to use by an Audlem group, so THANK YOU from Audlem Guides
