One of the main issues in the printer cartridge recycling industry is Epson inkjets and the fact that no one will accept them to be recycled.
As part of the industry I regularly try to explain to Epson users why this is, admittedly without knowing a precise answer except no one wants to buy the empties to refill them.
Epson have responded to customer pressure over the years by allowing them to return empty inkjet cartridges to Epson Express Centres and also providing a return address (though this was not a freepost address so eyebrows were raised).
Epson now have a freepost address to return empty inkjet cartridges to!
This isn't new news either - CNet reported this news back in October 2008
However, there is a caveat. After checking the site I noted that of approximately ten randomly selected inkjet models listed, only two were accepted for return.
Not the result Epson users had hoped for I guess, but certainly a step forward.
