Where do empty toner cartridges go after use?

Do you know what happens to your toners when you have finished with them?

Once a toner cartridge has been re-used by the remanufacturing industry it will normally end up in landfill or being incinerated. This means extra pollution either by toner leaking into the ground or extra carbon being placed into the atmosphere through incineration. The solution to the problem of how to environmentally dispose of printer cartridges when they have no value is to use Waycam Technologies ltd new unique service where old toner and inkjet cartridges are transformed into new fence posts or garden furniture.

Until now once manufactures toner cartridges have been re-used by the  re-manufacturing industry they are just discarded into the landfill sites where they sit for 100’s of years or more before they start to decay, all the while possibly leaking toner powder into the surrounding earth. Waycam now have a solution to this problem of what to do with a toner cartridge that no one wants to buy from you. They can turn it from a toner or ink jet cartridge into a fence post or garden chair. They are promoting the only UK solution for 100% recycling of all parts of a toner cartridge and reusing the raw materials rather than sending them to landfill.

The problem until now has been what to do with the toner powder with the current solutions being either to send it along with the whole cartridge to landfill or to incinerate the toner powder. Waycam felt that this pollution of the land and the carbon pollution from incineration was not acceptable when we are becoming more concerned about our environment and global warming. With this in mind Waycam decided to look for a solution which they found in their partners, and now together they have the only solution to offer all printer uses, looking for an environmental friendly recycling solution for all toners, ink jets, drum units, fusers, and transfer units that otherwise would end up in landfill. They take an end of life toner cartridge and after removing the toner powder dismantle it into its component parts with all the metal parts being sent to metal companies for re-use and the plastic that is left along with the toner powder is then transformed into new products which they are currently developing. Waycam are currently able to transform cartridges into Fence posts and garden furniture but eventually virtually anything that you can make in wood can be made out of the new plastic wood which they are calling TRI-wood( Toner Recycled into wood). Waycam believe that this new solution will help many companies with their pre-treatment and csr responsibilities as well as helping them reduce the carbon foot print of their businesses.
