This means that every component of a cartridge collected for recycling is spared from landfill and used to produce other items such as eWood.
E-wood is used to make outdoor furniture, fencing and bollards, as well as fuel to replace natural gas and chemical spill clean-up kits.
In the five years since the program began, hundreds of thousands of Australians and more than 17,000 Australian businesses have taken action to address the growing problem of e-waste by recycling their cartridges through the program.
However, more than 18 million printer cartridges still go to landfill every year.
