The collection of inkjet and laser cartridges, how does it work?
"From its manufacture to its end of life, every product we consume has an impact on the environment: on water, air, soil, biodiversity, climate change... To limit them, everyone has a role to play. Manufacturers and industrialists, farmers, distributors, public authorities... but also the consumers that we are."
Why recycle your inkjet and laser cartridges?
You are a company and you don’t know what to do with your empty cartridges?
Do you know that only 30 to 40% of used cartridges are treated properly?
With the ESR collection, we guarantee the return and sorting of your Laser and Inkjet cartridges. Thus all reusable cartridges will be sorted, cleaned and passed on to our partner in order to enter a new cartridge production cycle. They are then remanufactured cartridges.
This means that instead of considering your cartridges as waste, we give them value again!
Since August 2018, print cartridges are considered as WEEE of “Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment”, so cartridges must be collected and treated in accordance with the obligations arising from this.

Sorting
Inkjet and Laser ESR cartridge collection is just the beginning of a new story… your cartridge hasn’t said its last word!
Used cartridges are sorted after collection. Cartridges are first checked, so reusable cartridges are remanufactured to be put back on the market!
