Collect Empty Packaging – Protect the Environment!

Pelikan cares about the environment and takes its carbon footprint seriously. The gigantic pile of waste produced every year by inkjet and laser cartridges is growing increasingly. For this reason Pelikan collects empty cartridges and tests them for their reusability. Pelikan has set up several recycling schemes to collect as many empty inkjet and laser cartridges as possible.

If you want to help reduce your carbon footprint please send your empty inkjet and laser cartridge to:

Collecting empty cartridges is only one way to reduce our carbon footprint. Pelikan also is an ISO 14001 certified company. The ISO 14001 certificate proves that Pelikan systematically looks at all activities that have an environmental impact. In practise this means that Pelikan uses no harmful substances in the formulation of inks, toners and colours, reduces waste and consumption of energy and raw materials.

Last but not least Pelikan’s environmental awareness is reflected in the Nordic Swan certificate for the full range of remanufactured laser cartridges. Laser cartridges that carry the Nordic Swan Ecolabel stand for: less waste and a lower consumption of energy and raw materials. Using laser cartridges several times reduces the total consumption of laser cartridges and accordingly the environmental impact of the product throughout its service life. The aim is to reduce waste and also focus on product quality through quality assurance of the recycling process, content of environmentally hazardous and harmful substances, labelling and customer information.
