Canon is involved in a number of unique recycling schemes that allow us to transform old products into brand new ones. Canon is a founding member of the Cartridges for Planet Ark program (C4PA) which has recycled more than 41 million cartridges since it began in 2003. Canon has also played an active role working with the government, the IT industry and other stakeholders to establish Product Stewardship Legislation in Australia. TechCollect is a community take back and recycling program for televisions and computers which ensures that end of life products are responsibly recycled under strict environmental and health and safety standards.
