• Cartridges are sorted and either sent for remanufacturing or recycling.
• Undamaged, re-usable cartridges are packed, stored and sent for re-use.

Zero Waste-to-Landfill Policy

Q-Connect, through Static Control Components (SCC), operate a closed-loop environmental process that is built around a zero-waste-to-landfill policy. CES evaluate every empty cartridge that is received with the primary goal being to reuse it for remanufacturing, ensuring availability and supply of Q-Connect cartridges. In the case where this isn’t possible, the cartridge is used for materials recovery. The process ensures that every component of the cartridge collected is either remanufactured or recycled.

*Please note that under the WEEE Directive 2016, it is the responsibility of the producer of toner bottles and waste bins to recycle these items.
