Step 1: Collection - Where can I take my empty printer and toner cartridges to be recycled?
The first step is to take your empty printer and toner cartridges to a designated cartridge recycling collection point. Cartridge World has collection boxes available at each of its 130+ locations across Australia as part of the Cartridges 4 Planet Ark Program, an innovative and environmentally friendly way to recycle used printer cartridges. Simply drop any empty cartridges into your nearest store and they will be packaged ready for collection.

Step 2: Sorting & Processing - What happens to cartridges during the recycling process?
Once collected, the empty printer and toner cartridges are taken to a specialist recycling facility operated by Close the Loop where they are sorted and processed. Cartridges are safely broken down into various parts by ‘Green Machines’. During this process - steel, aluminium, clean and contaminated plastic, residual toner, and ink are all separated.

Step 3: Re-purpose - How are the recycled cartridge parts used?
Once separated, each element of the used cartridge can be re-purposed in a variety of ways to produce new products.
