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 land ll waste.
Complete details concerning this program
are enclosed in each Cartridge box.
The Clean Earth Campaign
THE Canon CARTRIDGE RECYCLING
PROGRAM
The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program ful lls the  rst initiative
of Canon’s Clean Earth Campaign, which supports four critical
environmental areas:
• Recycling in the Workplace
• Conserving Environmental Resources
• Scienti c Research and Education
• Encouraging Outdoors Appreciation
The remaining “Clean Earth” initiatives are supported in the
U.S. through sponsorships of the National Park Foundation, the
National Wildlife Federation, and The Nature Conservancy and in
Canada through donations to the World Wildlife Fund Canada and
The Nature Conservancy of Canada.
Since its inception, The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program has
collected huge amount of cartridges that otherwise would have
been discarded into land lls or similar facilities.
Instead, this rapidly growing program returns used cartridges to
the manufacturing process, thus conserving an array of resources.
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 Recycling
Program.
Working together we can make a signi cant contribution to a
cleaner planet.
