At Visy, this is our passion, we make it, we take and we recycle it.

This is what we call the closed loop.

‘Cartridges for Planet Ark’

This very successful printer cartridge recycling program has now diverted over 5 million cartridges from Australia’s landfills.

Collection boxes are located in major retail stores that sell printer cartridges such as Australia Post, Officeworks, Harvey Norman and Dick Smith Electronics stores, and also in over 15 000 businesses across the country.

The program is sponsored by the manufacturers of cartridges such as Lexmark, HP and Brother and sends zero waste to landfill, guaranteed. Printer cartridges are recycled by resource and recovery partner Close the Loop in Melbourne, producing a revolutionary wood replacement product called eWood that can be used in fencing, signage, furniture and much more.
