The Facts
 
 
More than 1.1billion inkjet cartridges are used annually around the world laid end to end this would be 129 times as long as the Great Wall of China

Approximately 3.5 litres of oil are required to produce each new laser printer cartridge and 90ml of oil is used to produce each inkjet cartridge.

Each discarded empty laser printer cartridge adds approximately three pounds of waste to our landfills.
 
The plastic used in a typical cartridge is made of engineering grade polymers and is expected to take up to 1000years to decompose.

More than 30 million inkjet cartridges are dumped each year in the UK (1800 tonnes) - the same weight as 18 Blue Whales

Industry analysts estimate a spent cartridge can be reused or remanufactured between 3 to 7 times every cartridge remanufactured is one fewer going directly to the landfill

20-30% of all cartridges sold worldwide are remanufactured.
