RECYCLING
Our CRC accepts toners/drum units and ink cartridges* which are posted back to "Close The Loop" on the mainland.  The toner power and plastic is used to create road base called TonerPlas.  Every tonne of TonerPlas uses plastic from 106,000 plastic bags and 2,500 waste toner cartridges.  Roads made with TonerPlas last longer, less maintenance, reducing whole of life cost.  TonerPlas increases road longevity under high heat and heavy traffic.
