Our Environment

An inkjet cartridge that is thrown away will take up to 1,000 years to be broken down by nature.

It is a great pleasure to work with you and we intend to continue our commitment. The money that we raise from the ink cartridges/cell phone recycling will be used to buy science kits for experiments that help students learn more about pollution and other environmental issues such as global warming.

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

Recycling reduces the demand on Earth’s limited natural resources enabling us to utilize land for open spaces rather than landfills. When you recycle your printer cartridges and cell phones with Planet Green you are making a commitment to improving environmental and public health for generations to come.

Civic Responsibility

Planet Green enables you and/or your organization to stand up and be counted as those who are making a difference. Work within your local community to engage awareness that printer cartridges and cell phones are recyclable and have a monetary value.

You can also be confident that your eligible recycled cartridges and cell phones are re-entering the consumer market as an environmentally conscious and cost-effective alternative to the original manufacturer brand cartridges.

Together, we are making a difference by eliminating non-biodegradable plastics and metals contained in printer cartridges and cell phones from entering our landfills.

Planet Green has implemented protocols for the reduction of office waste as well as waste from the remanufacturing process. We are committed to maintaining a low environmental impact by utilizing recycled paper and cardboard for our fundraiser materials. We encourage you and your organization to do the same!

Environmental Facts

Inkjets, laser cartridges and cell phones are accumulating in landfills worldwide at an alarming rate. We commend you in taking a step to raise awareness that these items are recyclable and not disposable.

Did You Know?

• It takes about three ounces of oil to make a new inkjet cartridge. Recycling helps lower this cost to a considerable degree.
• In North America, more than 40,000 tons of plastic and metal is saved from landfills annually as a result of cartridge recycling. For every 100,000 used cartridges recycled, we can save 9599 kilograms of aluminum, 40 tons of plastic, and 1,000,000 liters of oil.
• It is estimated that cell phones are discarded after 18 months of use. Cell phones contain many toxic substances that pose a major threat to public and environment health.
