Toner Cartridge Return Program (All-in-one and multiple components toner cartridges)

Canon explores methods to minimize the environmental burden of its products throughout their life cycle and to promote research and development, which contribute to environmental assurance. In 1990, Canon introduced a cartridge recycling program for all-in-one laser beam printer toner cartridges (better known as the Clean Earth Campaign Program). The goal of this program is to achieve zero landfill waste by reusing parts, recycling materials and employing energy recovery. Canon was the first company to collect used all-in-one toner cartridges. Canon and its customers have collected more than 190,000 tons of these toner cartridges from around the world during the period 1990-2007.

Solid Waste Management Hierarchy: Favored - Reuse, Recycle/Compositing, and Energy Rcovery. Not Favored - LandfillCanon’s all-in-one cartridges have components that can be recycled and reused by Canon. We sort and disassemble the used cartridges collected from customers to promote zero landfill waste. The used cartridges are recycled to produce plastics, metals and reconditioned parts that can be used in the manufacture of new cartridges and other products.

Canon asks its customers to return more than one cartridge per shipping label (two or more) to help conserve resources and reduce energy during transportation. This can be done by retaining several cartridges with boxes, then using the Multiple or Bulk Cartridge Return options.

ENERGY RECOVERY FACT!

Energy Recovery is a safe and effective solution for managing local trash generation: Less reliance on landfills and long distance shipping of trash across state lines preserves valuable land and resource with minimal disturbance to surrounding neighborhoods.
