Franking machines are a fantastic tool for efficient, professional mail processing, but what happens to all those used ink cartridges? Instead of discarding them, recycling your empty franking machine ink cartridges in the correct way is an easy and impactful way to reduce waste and support eco-friendly practices. In this guide, we’ll show you why and how to recycle your empty franking ink cartridges, along with tips on making your mailroom more sustainable.
Franking machine ink cartridges cases are made primarily from plastic, a material that can take a long time to break down. By recycling your empty ink cartridges, businesses can reduce the volume of plastic waste going to landfills and help limit environmental impact. Recycling cartridges conserves resources, as it allows the materials to be reused in the production of new cartridges. The recycling process recovers plastic and ink components, reducing the need for raw materials and energy consumption.
Not only this, but by recycling empty franking ink cartridges, businesses participate in a circular economy, where products are reused or remanufactured instead of discarded of in the bin. Many businesses and stakeholders appreciate eco-friendly practices, and recycling your empty franking ink cartridges is a simple yet effective way to promote sustainability.
Here at Mailcoms, we offer a convenient recycling program for all empty franking machine ink cartridges. When you order any ink cartridge from us, we will send out a FREEPOST returns bag for you to place your empty ink cartridge in. Alternatively, if you have empties please package them up and send them FREE to: Freepost RSEB-YXLG-YZUH, Mailcoms Ltd – PO Box 4, Cannock WS12 4GS. By using our environmentally friendly service and recycling your empty franking ink cartridges, we can ensure that each ink cartridge is disposed of responsibly, in accordance with environmental regulations, or we will remanufacture them and reuse them so they are put back into the system.
Another option for businesses is to contact your local recycling facility and find out if they accept used ink cartridges. If you’re unable to use a recycling program, contact a nearby facility to confirm if they handle ink cartridges and how they should be prepared for recycling. Alternatively contact Mailcoms today to see if we can help.
Using a refill reset service or remanufactured cartridges helps reduce waste even further. Our refill reset service will reuse your empty ink cartridge ensuring you get the same ink cartridge back, costing both you and us less. Remanufactured franking ink cartridges are also refurbished from previously used franking ink cartridges and again offers an eco-friendly option without sacrificing quality.
Buying ink cartridges in bulk not only ensures that you have a steady supply, but it also reduces packaging waste. Fewer shipments means less materials are used and lower transportation emissions occur.
Encourage your team to follow sustainable practices, such as proper disposal of empty ink cartridges and sorting recyclable materials into the correct bins. A little education goes a long way in making your mailroom a little greener.
Beyond franking ink cartridges, choosing eco-friendly packaging supplies such as paper bags, cardboard boxes, and sugar cane mailing bags, will help reduce overall waste. Using eco-friendly supplies will further demonstrate your commitment to sustainability.
