Cartridge World is encouraging its customers to create greener communities by joining with its stores throughout the UK to celebrate National Tree Week.
Cartridge World is planning to plant a tree for every 25 refilled or remanufactured printer cartridges it sells during National Tree Week – by encouraging its customers to ‘Plant a Tree NOT a Cartridge’. Its (participating) stores are now inviting nominations for trees from local schools, charities, nursing homes, parks and churches – or anywhere where the new trees will benefit the community.
National Tree Week runs from Wednesday, November 26 to Sunday, December 7, 2008. During this time, Cartridge World estimates it will prevent a minimum of 80,000 cartridges from being ‘planted’ in landfill. As a result, at least 3,000 local organisations could soon be benefitting from the new trees.
Mark Holland, UK General Manager for Cartridge World, said: “Everyone can support the ‘Plant a Tree NOT a Cartridge’ campaign. All you have to do is have your empty cartridges refilled at your nearest Cartridge World store.
“The credit crunch could well limit corporate social responsibility schemes in the coming year. We’re hoping many businesses will get involved, using this as an opportunity to work with the local Cartridge World store to the benefit of their community.”
To nominate an organisation to receive a tree, contact your local Cartridge World by calling 0800 18 33 800.
