Hi!
Just a friendly reminder that you can now recycle your used ink cartridges at school with our new initiative.
I
know you all have thrown out your old ink cartridges or don’t want to throw
them away but don’t really know what to do with them. Well, there’s a quick and
simple solution, just recycle them at school. Remember, the next time you open a
new cartridge, please keep the original packaging, and when it’s used up, place
it back into the packaging and bring it to school. The packaging is just for
identification of the ink so just keep
that in mind. There’s a large grey box located in the print room, so just drop
it off there. Thanks!
Know
that you’re doing your bit to help the environment. Benefits of recycling your
cartridges:
Diverts waste from landfill, electronic waste is one of the fastest growing forms of waste.
Recovering resources, material is collected and reprocessed, the plastics and metals can be used to make new products.
Saving energy used to make them from raw materials.
Reducing greenhouse gases, we can save 16 000 tonnes of greenhouse gases from being released by recycling instead of producing from new materials.
