Recycling
By using a remanufactured Eclipse printer cartridge from Cartridge Depot, the carbon footprint per cartridge is reduced by approximately 2.5kg of CO2 emission and 3 liters of crude oil.
About 41.7 million litres of oil can be saved per year by recycling the plastic in printer cartridges.
97% of material in a printer cartridge can be recycled.
Of the estimated 11 million printer cartridges sold in South Africa annually, under 10% are recycled.
Recycling cuts down on the energy needed to make a new cartridge, reducing CO2 emission by nearly 6 tons annually.
