What happens to the Ink Cartridges that you Return to
RecycleFirst?
-
Empty inkjet cartridges, laser toner cartridges
and cell phones are returned to one of four North
American Recycling Centers for sorting and grading.
-
All qualified cartridges are reused within the
remanufacturing process to produce inkjet and laser
toner cartridges which significantly reduce the need for
using additional natural resources.
-
Cartridges that cannot be remanufactured due to
damage, defect, or having been previously
remanufactured, are completely disassembled to the base
components are handled as follows by the Waste Recycling
Facility:
-
Plastics -
Wiper blades, scrap inkjet cartridges are provided to
recyclers for melting down and forming park benches, garbage
cans and other items.
-
Aluminum – The OPC drums are collected from each
cartridge and are recycled.
-
Corrugated – All corrugated packaging is
compressed into baler machines, located on-site and the
tightly compressed bales are picked up by corrugated
recyclers.

blades and magnetic rollers are made available to scrap
metal recyclers.
