Seminar on survey of renewed toner and ink cartridge
The Greeners Action found that, the Hong Kong government did not put much effort in implementing reusable products, also, not following suit enough in supporting the development of green industries. For example, many other countries in the world have regulations in governing recycling of printer consumables and encouraging reuse of them, with some countries reaches over 50% reusing rate. Germany, Japan and some Northern European countries even more have green label showing the different levels of those items ‘environment performance. On Hong Kong’s side, only non-profitable organizations have similar, but not legal-binding green system. Since the low recognition, there is not much guiding effective on printer consumable industry.
