Print more for less with CO2 neutral cartridges

The ink cartridges you have collected come back as remanufactured, CO2 neutral cartridges from RecycleClub Ink!

RecycleClub extends the life of an ink cartridge. But we want to do more for the climate. Our logistics and production processes inevitably leave their mark on our CO2 footprint. With our commitment to the environment, we are therefore constantly looking for ways to minimize the emissions that result from this.

Environmentally conscious business practices

In Europe, for example, we have decided to work with a central distribution center. This way we limit the number of transport shipments. Another example is the rinse water that we use to clean collected cartridges. Before this water leaves the factory, an extensive after-treatment takes place.

Fair carbon credits

Even if we do our very best: in this industry it’s impossible to be emission-free. That’s why we want to compensate for our emissions. By buying carbon credits, Recoll finances Fairtrade projects that capture CO2. This is how we make the refilled cartridges of our RecycleClub brand 100% sustainable. Because the number of carbon credits that Recoll buys for cartridges from RecycleClub exactly matches the CO2 emissions released in the production process. That makes our cartridges CO2 neutral.

We believe it is important that our positive impact is greater than just CO2 compensation. That is why we’ve chosen the Fair Climate Fund as a sustainable partner. Because the Fair Climate Fund encourages local farming communities not only to capture CO2 from the air with their activities, but also to protect and develop their vulnerable living environment – including against the effects of climate change. In Burkina Faso, for example, we support the Birds, Bees Business project with the purchase of Fairtrade® GoldStandard® carbon credits. This way we compensate our CO2 emissions 1:1. At the same time, this investment helps limit the consequences of climate change in the short and long term.

Fair Climate Fund applies strict conditions for its sustainable development projects. For example, every project must be sustainable, fair and transparent. These strict conditions lead to proven results. That is why at Recoll we can guarantee that RecycleClub cartridges are actually 100% CO2 neutral.
