Recycling: Richard Fox, Cartridge World marketing manager, with Phil, the company mascot Picture supplied
ENVIRONMENTALLY friendly residents have saved hundreds of ink cartridges from Buckinghamshire's landfills and contributed instead to 6,000 new trees being planted.
Cartridge World customers in Grimsdell Corner, Amersham, have helped to save more than two million printer and ink cartridges nationally within just six months to meet the company's 6,000 tree planting target.
In the Plant a Tree not a Cartridge (PATNOC) scheme, customers receive a stamp every time they bring in an old cartridge as well as a discount on their new cartridges.
It takes between five and eight stamps to plant a tree.
A company spokesman said: "I would like to thank everybody in Amersham for backing our initiative."
