Recycling Services for Supplies Group Customers

Supplies Group have teamed up with Computer Aid International to offer you a hassle-free collect & recycle service, FREE OF CHARGE!

The Supplies Group recommends that used toner cartridges are recycled through Computer Aid International's recycling scheme.

Computer Aid International is a UK registered charity which exists to tackle the causes and effects of poverty through practical ICT solutions. The charity works with not-for-profit organisations in developing countries to provide equipment and support where it is most needed by poor communities in areas such as agriculture, health and education. To date, Computer Aid have donated over 175,000 computers to schools, hospitals and charities in Africa and Latin America.

Recycling toner cartridges provides a vital income for the charity to continue its work. For example, equiping one school with ICT costs £1,000 and last year Computer Aid raised £18,000 through cartridge recycling - enough to provide ICT to 18 rural schools in Kenya. The charity hopes to increase this total in 2011 and by recycling your cartridges, you can help support its work.

The Case for Recycling

• 50 million inkjet cartridges and 10 million laser cartridges were used in the UK in 2003

• Over 25 million litres of fossil fuel (oil) were consumed in their manufacture

• Less than 20% of these products were recycled

• Printer cartridges can take 1000 years before decomposition begins
