Samsung has announced its own recycling program in Canada. The new program is called the Samsung Take back and Recycling Program (STAR). It will be a free service that lets customers return empty Samsung-branded toner cartridges for laser and multi-function printers.
STAR is supported by Canada Post. The program will ensure that returned cartridges are safely reprocessed into their major usable component materials, like plastic and metals. These bulk, reprocessed materials will then be made available to the market for re-use in creating a range of other products.
“With the STAR program, Samsung is taking responsibility for the possible environmental impact of our products,” commented Ronald Hulse, Vice President Sales & Marketing, IT Division, Samsung Electronics Canada. “A founding principle of the STAR program is that it operates on a Zero Landfill policy: 100 per cent of the cartridge and related materials returned under this program are recycled and reused.
To return an empty Samsung toner cartridge, just visit www.samsung.com/ca/star to print out a pre-addressed, pre-paid Canada Post return shipping label. After addressing the box, return the box to any Canada Post office or red label letter box.
“By offering a free and simple recycling return program like STAR,” added Hulse, “we’re providing our customers with a convenient, conscientious way of ensuring their used products don’t harm the environment by occupying landfill space.“
