Environmentally conscious printer manufacturer Epson is extending its current collection programme by launching a toner cartridge Return & Recycle programme as part of its ongoing commitment to offer greener printing solutions to its customers.

The new programme offers two different options, both of which are free for the customer to use, in order to make the process as easy and efficient as possible.

Large organisations can visit the Epson web-site to order a reusable, branded recycle-box made from recycled materials, which can hold up to 30 laser toner cartridges. Once it's full, offices simply contact Epson and the recycle box will be collected. Smaller organisations can use a free-of-charge postal service, after downloading a barcode label.

In addition to the Return & Recycle programme, all Epson UK customers using the new AL-M2000 series laser printers are being offered an additional incentive to be environmentally responsible. They can benefit from a significant discount on the retail price of AL-M2000 toner cartridges if they agree to return the empty cartridges, while those who don't wish to participate in the scheme will have to buy non-discounted cartridges at the full retail price.

Epson's Return & Recycle programmes can be accessed via the dedicated web-site, link below.
