Jouw steun telt!

Together we make a difference. So get involved and ask your friends, acquaintances, colleagues and neighbours if they have any empty ink cartridges lying around. That way you can reach a larger amount together. With 3.1 million Dutch households that have a printer and a 100% chance that those printers will run out at some point, there are almost always empty ink cartridges to be found in your neighbourhood. During the first 2 years of RecycleClub, €4,500 has already been collected to donate to charities. Simply by handing in old cartridges.

This is just the beginning. Because with your support we can exceed this amount every year! Will you help?

Making dreams come true with Dream4Kids

Dream4Kids organizes unique dream days for children between the ages of 6-12 who have suffered a trauma. When the child is in a stable situation again, Dream4Kids makes the child’s dream come true during a Dream Day. This offers children perspective and lets them see the positive side of life. When you hand in your cartridges, we donate their value to charity. Read more about Dream4Kids and their goals here or visit their own website via: www.dream4kids.nl.

Help the animals with Stichting DierenLot

There are still too many animals in the Netherlands that are neglected, abused and left to their fate. Stichting Dierenlot supports shelters, animal shelters and all other organizations that are involved in saving animals. With this support they finance medicines, renovations, operations, but also transport. When you hand in your empty cartridges you contribute to this good cause. For more information about Stichting Dierenlot go to: www.dier.nu.

 

Raising money for the Plastic Soup Foundation

We also want to put a stop to plastic pollution. That is why we support the Plastic Soup Foundation. Every year, around 440 billion kilos of new plastic is added. Almost half of this is for single use and less than 10% is recycled. We breathe, eat and drink plastic. Through campaigns, scientific research and steering on new laws and regulations, the Plastic Soup Foundation turns off the plastic tap. For a safe, clean and healthy future, for ourselves, children and our grandchildren. Read more about the foundation at: www.plasticsoupfoundation.org.

Fairness first with FairClimateFund

FairClimateFund – abbreviated FCF – is part of Cordaid and focuses on improving the climate by reducing and compensating for CO2 emissions. We work closely with FCF to ensure that our cartridges are CO2 neutral. When you choose to donate to FCF, you contribute to the Birds, Bees & Business project in Burkina Faso. Here, they work with heart and soul to prevent CO2 emissions and store CO2 from the air. New trees are also planted in the landscape, existing trees are protected from logging and biodiversity is stimulated. The carbon credits that are created through this project are Fairtrade and Gold Standard certified as the icing on the cake. So you know, just like we are used to from coffee and chocolate, that local development comes first.
