Recycling Used Cartridges Recycling Used Cartridges Canon has instituted a worldwide recycling program for cartridges called "The Clean Earth Campaign". This program preserves precious natural resources by utilizing a variety of materials found in the used cartridges that are of no further use, to remanufacture new cartridges which, at the same time, keeps the environment cleaner by reducing landfill waste. Complete details concerning this program are enclosed in each Cartridge box. The Clean Earth Campaign - The Canon Cartridge Return Program The Canon Cartridge Return Program fulfills the first initiative of Canon's Clean Earth Campaign, which supports four critical environmental areas: ˔ Recycling in the Workplace ˔ Conserving Environmental Resources ˔ Scientific Research and Education ˔ Encouraging Appreciation of the Outdoors "Clean Earth" initiatives supported by Canon in the U.S. include Eyes on Yellowstone, Canon Envirothon, NATURE Series on PBS and The Canon Clean Earth Crew. Initiatives supported in Canada include Canon Envirothon and World Wildlife Fund - Canada. Since its inception, The Canon Cartridge Return Program has collected millions of cartridges that otherwise would have been discarded into landfills or similar facilities. Instead, this rapidly growing program recovers used cartridges and separates them into components which are then put to various industrial uses. Becoming a part of this worthwhile program is easy. When your cartridge is of no further use, simply follow the instructions detailed for U.S. or Canadian residents. We appreciate your support of The Canon Cartridge Return Program. Working together we can make a significant contribution to a cleaner planet. ˔ Cartridges collected through this program are not refilled. ˔ This program may be modified or discontinued without notice. 10-15 Maintenance
