NEW Toner Container Collection Program (Plastic Toner Containers)

To contribute to the goal of zero landfill waste, Canon is introducing a collection and energy recovery program for Canon plastic toner containers. Unlike Canon’s all-in-one cartridges, these toner containers are made mainly of plastic material making local recycling and local energy recovery possible and thereby reducing environmental impacts associated with the transportation of collected containers across the country.

To support local recycling and energy recovery, Canon has engraved a plastic resin code on each container. Canon toner particles and plastic toner containers are safe for local recycling and local energy recovery facilities.

When Canon plastic toner containers cannot be recycled locally or sent to a local energy recovery facility, Canon asks that customers ship them to the address below at their expense. Once received by our facility, Canon assumes the responsibility and cost for energy recovery (utilizing the thermal process)* to keep Canon toner containers from going into landfills.

*Thermal Process— Process that takes municipal solid waste and turns it into energy that can be used to generate electricity.

Solid Waste Management Hierarchy: Favored - Reuse, Recycle/Compositing, and Energy Rcovery. Not Favored - Landfill

Canon's new Toner Container Collection Program falls into the Energy Recovery level (tier 3) in the Solid Waste Hierarchy, above landfills, and prevents used materials from entering landfills.

CO2 emissions in transporting toner containers to Canon’s toner collection facility are greater than emissions from local energy recovery facilities. In order to reduce CO2 transportation emissions Canon suggests recycling locally or utilizing a local energy recovery facility when possible.

When local recycling or energy recovery facilities aren’t able to take Canon toner containers, Canon gives customers the option of sending them to its Toner Container Collection facility. Although, CO2 will be emitted during transportation, our environment will benefit from keeping the plastic toner bottles out of landfills.

Canon encourages customers to find a local recycling or energy recovery facilities in order to reduce CO2 transportation emissions.

LANDFILL FACTS!

Plastics require 100 to 400 years to break down in a landfill.
Solid waste disposal is the third largest municipal government expense after police protection and education.
