CEM steps up on recycling
Local electricity company, CEM on Friday signed an agreement with OMNI Limited on printer cartridge recycling agreement. The signing ceremony was held at the 2009 Macau International Environmental Co-operation Forum & Exhibition (MIECF) and it was officiated by CEM executive director Jorge Vieira and OMNI Limited GM Partner Rui Pereira.
By recycling, refurbishing, and reusing printer cartridges, CEM can avoid sending the empty cartridges to local landfills and conserve the resources in manufacturing new ones. Also, OMNI Limited will collect the printer cartridges that are not recyclable in order for them to be disposed properly to minimise the potential hazard to the environment.
Every year, CEM uses over 200 printer cartridges and according to statistics, it takes more than two pints of oil to create a new toner cartridge shell and it takes hundreds of years for the cartridges to decompose in a landfill.
Over the years, CEM has made outstanding progress in various environmental protection areas such as waste processing and recycling.
