Expanding the Impact of Cartridge Recycling

Expanding the Impact of Cartridge Recycling

, by Planet Green, 2 min reading time

Most recycling partners are already familiar with the environmental value of collecting empty ink cartridges. Every cartridge returned for remanufacturing helps prevent plastic waste from entering landfills while allowing original OEM components to be reused rather than discarded. Every cartridge also earns funds for recycling partners.

But many partners are now discovering a second way to strengthen that impact.

Across recycling programs, organizations are sharing simple affiliate links and coupon codes with their supporters - allowing them to purchase environmentally responsible printer supplies while generating additional funds for the same recycling program they support.

Instead of relying only on cartridge collection, partners benefit when supporters choose remanufactured OEM cartridges or verified OEM surplus cartridges to restock their printers. When purchases are made through a partner’s link or code, 15% of the sale is credited back to the partner’s program through Planet Green Recycle.

For partners, this is an easy addition to the program they already run.

Once an affiliate link or coupon code is set up, it can simply be shared with supporters - placed in social media posts, included in newsletters, or even added to email signatures and website pages. Whenever supporters purchase printer supplies using that link or code, the partner earns funds while reinforcing the same environmental mission their recycling program promotes.

The environmental connection remains central.

Remanufactured cartridges reuse original components, reducing waste and extending the life of materials that already exist. OEM surplus cartridges prevent unused inventory from being discarded when businesses change equipment or over-purchase supplies.

Together, these options help reduce the demand for newly manufactured single-use cartridges while encouraging a more responsible printing supply chain.

For many recycling partners, the result is a stronger cycle of sustainability.

- Cartridges are collected for recycling.
- Supporters purchase recycled and surplus cartridges.
- And the program generates additional funds to support the organization’s work.

It’s a simple step that is helping partners increase their environmental impact while earning additional funds through Planet Green Recycle’s affiliate link and coupon program.
