Collect & Recycle

Epson Cartridge Collection Programme

Governments, companies and individuals increasingly realise the importance of environmental protection. When the future of the planet and next generations are at risk, sustainable development becomes a priority.
Every year Epson produces and sells printer supplies to its customers. Epson's aim is to collect and recycle as many supplies as possible in a responsible way, in order to conserve valuable environmental resources and reduce waste.

Inkjet Printer Cartridge Recycling Programme

At Epson we have been taking your old printers off you and recycling them on your behalf and now we are recycling your inkjet cartridges too.

We have dedicated Epson Express Centre’s which can be found throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland. Each Express Centre has an Epson recycling bin where you can place your inkjet or toner cartridges and then we at Epson will ensure they are disposed of correctly.

Empty Epson inkjet printer cartridges can be taken to your nearest Epson Express Centre for recycling.

How does Epson recycle Inkjet printer Cartridges?

Once the inkjet Cartridges have been collected and the bins are full, they are sent to a recycling plant where the cartridges are separated into different material streams for further treatment. An ink cartridge consists mainly of plastics, which are processed into granulated plastic, which can then be used to build other products. The small percentages of different metals that are contained in the ink cartridge are sent to a metal smelter which, through further treatment, separates the different metals in clean streams which can also be reused in new products.
