Anybody who uses a Konica-Minolta printer in an office environment can tell you that it is extremely easy to go through a ton of toner cartridges in a relatively short period of time. Often these cartridges are simply thrown away or discarded, even though each one weighs upwards of three pounds and can take centuries to decompose naturally. However now there is an easy way to dispose of your Konica-Minolta toner cartridge without wreaking large scale environmental havoc: the Clean Planet Program toner recycling.

Unfortunately recycling your Konica-Minolta toner cartridge does add a bit of extra time and effort to disposing of your printing waste. However the long term advantages of taking those extra steps are phenomenal: consider how long it takes each cartridge to decompose, then think about how many cartridges your office goes through in a year. Multiply that number by the millions of businesses in America and you begin to get a picture of how much damage is done to the environment each year.

With that in mind the advantages of recycling your Konica-Minolta toner cartridge should be much more clear. That is why Konica Minolta set up the Clean Planet Program as a resource to recycle your empty cartridges. To take advantage of this entirely free program you only need to follow a few easy steps and they take care of the rest–including postage!

To begin, check to see if you still have the return shipping label that came with your toner cartridge when you purchased it. If you do not still have the return shipping label simply use the return label that came with your new toner cartridge. Place the old cartridge into the packaging that the new one came in, including the bubble wrap, and repackage it for shipping in the new box. Once the box has been filled and resealed simply place the return shipping label on the top and send it back–Konica Minolta will take care of the rest of the process for you.
