Canon Cartridge Recycling Programme

Canon Cartridge Recycling Programme

Canon’s cartridge recycling programme offers convenient solutions for recycling your empty Canon cartridges. Did you know that Canon has been operating a cartridge recycling programme since 1990, the first programme in the industry?


Each element of every returned cartridge can be reused or recycled – be it as a component in a new cartridge, as a base material in other industries, or as a substitute for fossil fuels. No part of the cartridge needs to be sent to landfill.

Please select your country for more information about your local programme:

If your country of residence is not listed below, please contact your local national sales office for details of how to recycle your cartridges through country specific recycling programmes.
