Environmental
Issues
Waste is an environmental and economic problem, which
affects us all. It is caused by us all and can be solved
by us all. The success of recycling and waste reduction
initiatives is one area where waste can be significantly
reduced.
| Facts |

as well as conserve resources and reduce waste |

- Empty inkjet cartridges are THE most valuable post-consumer
item |
Amazingly,
last year alone, it was collectively dumped over 375 million
used empty cartridges into landfill sites. Empty cartridges
are valuable. Used empty cartridges can be recycled and
reused many times. Apart from the obvious environmental
issues, individuals, business, charities, universities,
schools and fundraising groups have missed out on the
opportunity to earn hundreds or thousands of dollars by
simply collecting their empty cartridges and joining the
cartridge recycling program.

Why
do we collect empty cartridges?
Each
cartridge by its chemical and technological structure
is valuable raw material and ecologically dangerous
waste.
Our
obligation is to collect the used empty cartridges
in a strategic way. They don't have any value for
the user. A long-term experience has shown that untrained
users in most cases throw cartridges in garbage cans.
On one hand, we are in a business which allows us
to get empty cartridges, so we could regularly do
our business of industrial remanufacturing cartridges,
and on the other hand, by collecting the empty cartridges,
we reduce the quantity of waste and we handle potentially
dangerous waste with care.
Today, PC ZONE is the Leader Company in Lebanon
who is recycling all types of inkjet cartridges for
HP, Lexmark and Canon.
