** How to deposit your cartridges?

  1. Remove the original packaging.
  2. Reuse the plastic bag to protect the toners during transport.
  3. Pile up the cartridges carefully in order not to damage them so they can be reconditioned.

 Your cartridges first get checked for any possible damage then they are sold to reconditioning companies in Belgium and abroad. Unusable items go through recycling and are entirely transformed into raw material.

*** Plastic bottle caps and the asbl Passe le Message à ton Voisin

The non-profit organization "Passe le message à ton Voisin" defends the right of people with disabilities or with reduced mobility (PMR). In order to finance their projects, the NPO "Jeunes et Nature", a member of Mundo-b, takes care of collecting plastic caps which are then bought by the recycling company CAPKA. In addition to recycling plastic and thus contributing to the planet's waste reduction, the money collected helps to finance the purchase of wheelchairs for people with disabilities (You can find more information about this action here).
