A partner of ours is a global manufacturer of
inkjet printers. They are trying to institute a responsible recycling
program in Canada and the USA for their inkjet cartridges. The thought was
that the cartridges would be collected at retail, sent to a distribution centre
and then off for proper recycling.
Sounds simple enough but finding an appropriate
recycling partner is more challenging than one would think. They have
received offers from waste to energy companies but so far have not found any
reasonable recycling possibilities.
Needless to say, we have advised them to steer
clear of the burn option. Does anyone have any recycling contacts for
inkjet cartridges.
