RECYCLING

Sustainability, remanufacturing and recycling is at the core of DCI’s business.  The global use of ink and toner cartridges results in millions of cartridges being thrown away, many of which can be remanufactured or materials recycled.

 

DCI's collection arm, The Recycling Factory (TRF), operates tailored collection programmes in partnership with charities, retailers, schools and businesses to ensure used ink and toner cartridges avoid landfill and are returned for remanufacturing and material recycling.

   

Collecting over 1 million used cartridges per month and growing, DCI has donated over £4m to charity partners from used cartridges returned for recycling.
