• Approximately 1.1 billion printer cartridges are used each year worldwide. If we laid these out end to end, they would reach nearly 68 times around the equator.
• On average, one inkjet cartridge is made out of 90 ml of oil. If this was vegetable oil, we would be able to prepare a traditional Vindaloo to serve 6 people!
• A Laser cartridge requires much more oil, roughly 3.5 litres to put a number on it. (That’s enough vegetable oil to prepare 234 servings of Vindaloo!)
• In the UK alone, more than 30 million inkjet cartridges are dumped per year. That’s 1800 tonnes a year, weighing the same as 18 Blue Whales, 782 Elephants or 30 MILLION INKJET CARTRIDGES!
• Because of the plastic used to make printer cartridges, it can take up to 1000 years for just one cartridge to decompose.
• Scientists have estimated that one printer cartridge can be remanufactured anywhere between 3 and 7 times, so recycling and reusing just one printer cartridge could save up to 7000 years off decomposing printer cartridges.
• Currently, between 20% and 30% of all printer cartridges sold world wide will be recycled. With your help, in 10 years time this figure could be increased to 45%.
