Sainsbury's has been criticised as "misguided" for its choice of a corporate printer cartridge recycling scheme over more ecofriendly cartridge reuse.
But while the recycling scheme sounds ecofriendly it has been attacked by the cartridge refill industry, which claims that reuse is better for the environment and raises hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity.
The move by Sainsbury's is indicative of the way the major inkjet cartridge original equipment manufacturers have clouded environmental issues to freeze out the refillable market, a popular fundraising option for charities, said Heywood.
