Northern CARE has formed a partnership with Ko-Rec-Type Canada to bring you a program called "Northern CARE Recycle Ink." Northern CARE Recycle Ink provides corporations, municipalities, schools, industry, businesses, and individuals with home computers, a FREE and convenient method for recycling their used printer cartridges.

Cartridges donated to the Northern CARE Recycle Ink. program will be refilled or remanufactured by Ko-Rec-Type. Cartridges will be thoroughly cleaned, reassembled, refilled and inspected. Every component of the cartridge will either be reused or recycled. Ko-Rec-Type recycles thousands of cartridges each month under the ISO 9002 Quality Assurance Program.

For every 100,000 used cartridges recycled, we can save:

• 9599 kilograms of aluminium

• 40 tonnes of plastic

• 1,000,000 litres of oil

Over 30 million inkjet cartridges are used in Canada every year and less than 5% are currently being recycled. Almost 3 ounces of oil is required to produce a new inkjet cartridge. The plastic used in inkjet cartridges can take over 10 centuries to decompose.

Northern CARE is inviting you to join our partnership program to eliminate ink cartridges from our landfills in northern Alberta and practice the "3 Rs"……reduce, reuse and recycle. This program is FREE.
There are two programs:

Individual – Individuals receive postage paid envelopes to return used ink jet cartridges to Northern CARE Recycling Ink.

Corporate – Corporations, schools, businesses, industry, hospitals, and organizations will receive a partnership kit after registering with us and will be able to donate laser printer cartridges as well as ink jet cartridges and with one easy phone call and have their cartridges picked up within 48 hours, FREE.

It’s an easy way to help make a difference!
