Toner Cartridge Recycling Program
This is a free program designed to be used by our customers to deal with the waste produced once our toner cartridges and parts have been spent. By using Ricoh's Toner Cartridge Takeback Program our customers can be assured that 100% of toner cartridges, toner bottles, waste toner containers, photoconductor units, fuser units, maintenance kits and other consumable products used will be recycled, achieving a recycling ratio of 100%.
The program has been in operation since 2001 and set the benchmark for the office automation industry then, and continues to set ambitious targets for cartridge collection to date.
Continuously Improving Results of Cartridge Collection:

The program recycles spent consumables reclaiming the plastic to make durable objects such as park benches, environmental awareness material and an innovative timber replacement product called eWood.
There are two zero cost options for customers wishing to be involved in the program; simply register for a Collection Box to be sent to you into which you can place consumables from any manufacturer’s facsimile machine, printer or photocopier for free collection. Alternatively, submit a request for post back labels to take advantage of our reply paid service to return your used consumables via Australia Post.
