Environmental Benefits of Recycling

ITA works in accordance with ISO-1400 & ISO-9000 environmental management standards through the company’s general environmental policies, systems and in conjunction with the Corporate Recycling 5 Star accreditation. This environmental focus combined with the recycling procedures sees ITA with the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly workplace.

ITA being a re-manufacturer of toner cartridges uses the plastic casings of the empty cartridges in our manufacturing process. So unlike many other cartridge collection programs where the toner cartridges are collected and granulated and turned into other products automatically, ITA’s are reused firstly before being recycled into other products. This reuse and then recycle system saves on many thousands of plastic casings having to be manufactured and therefore saves on fossil fuels (typically 3 litres of oil per cartridge) being used in this process.

ITA has also initiated a recycling program in conjunction with an international renowned charity founded by Steve Irwin being Wildlife Warriors. The ‘Recycle for Wildlife’ program is a completely free service, where ITA collect empty cartridges through collection boxes and donate valuable funds to Wildlife Warriors which are primarily used for their Wildlife Hospital Project. The program not only helps the environment by keeping unwanted plastics out of landfill, it also helps protect our native wildlife. Wildlife Warriors have an ever increasing profile through all forms of media including the Discovery Channel seen worldwide.

The Recycle for Wildlife program has proven to be very popular with clients as it helps a worthwhile charity while protecting the environment and our wildlife while also enhancing their own corporate and community image.
