WOW is proud to introduce our Inkjet cartridge recycling scheme. Working
to help recycle4charity raise money for good causes whilst reducing
the damage being done to the environment.
How you can recycle inkjet
cartridges
Please follow the Recycle4charity link on the right hand side of this
page and order bags now. When your inkjet cartridges are empty, simply
place them in one of our recycling envelopes and place them in a letter
box. It’s as simple as that.
How we raise money
All Inkjets received are cleaned, flushed, vacuum filled, print tested,
quality checked and then sold for up to 40% less at www.bcmy.co.uk.
We receive £1 for every original inkjet received from the wanted
list. Click
here to check the wanted list. We receive 50p for every remanufactured
inkjet received from the wanted list.
Who receives the money
Currently we donate all monies raised from this scheme to the Disasters
Emergency Committee (DEC) to help provide immediate aid to those
affected by disasters like the Indonesian Earthquake and Tsunami on
December 26th 2004 and the Asian Earthquake in Muzaffarbad, Pakistan,
on 8th October 2005.
Further details
Despite the massive cost of purchasing and the use of over 1.5 pints
of oil used to make one cartridge; only an astonishing 15% of inkjet
cartridges are ever recycled. The rest, an approximate 57 million inkjets,
are buried in landfill sites every year. It is estimated that the cartridges
on these landfill sites will take more than 1000 years to biodegrade.
With your help we can massively reduce the harm being done to the
environment by ink cartridges by recycling them. The best thing about
this is that buying recycled or refilled ink cartridges is cheaper than
buying new ones – the more cartridges donated, the more there
will be available at reduced prices.
