Inkjet cartridges - about

Recycling and remanufacturing inkjet cartridges is very important for our environment because it

  • reduces carbon emissions, a major cause of global warming
  • conserves resources
  • reduces waste and,
  • the parts of an inkjet cartridges are all non-biodegradable, it will take more than 1000 years to decompose in landfill sites

Only 10% of Inkjet cartridges sold in the UK were recycled in 2003, which is not many since

  • around 24.8 million households in the UK have computers out of which 90% of them have printers and
  • each family on average disposes 3-4 inkjets per year, which does not include small businesses and large corporations.

By buying remanufactured inkjet cartridges you can benefit from a 30-50% price reduction. Remanufactured cartridges produced by EBP are made to perform in precisely the same way as the cartridge originally supplied with your printer.
