Ink and Toner Cartridge Recycling Programme - Canon Singapore

Ink and Toner Cartridge Recycling Programme

Canon Singapore Pte. Ltd. (Canon Singapore) in partnership with the National Library Board (NLB), first launched the Cartridge Recycling Programme in 2024. The initiative started with the installation of the collection bins at five participating libraries. These offered the public a convenient and responsible way to recycle their used ink and toner cartridges.

In 2025, this programme has been expanded and now includes 10 additional library drop-off points nationwide, making it easier for Singapore residents to contribute to environmental sustainability.

Inkfinity Green Pledge: Inspiring Everyday Action

To mark the SG60 spirit of unity and Singapore’s continued commitment to sustainability, Canon Singapore has launched the Inkfinity Green Pledge, a vibrant community-led campaign that invites the public to take meaningful action towards a greener future.

From now to 14 November 2025, the campaign invites participants to:

  1. Snap a photo of themselves with the cartridge recycling bins at the 15 participating locations
  2. Caption it with a personal pledge towards an eco-friendly lifestyle
  3. Post on Instagram with hashtag #InkfinityGreenPledge and tag the official @CanonSingapore account

Three winners will stand to win a Canon PIXMA E470! Entries will be judged based on creativity, relevance to the theme, and overall impact. Results will be announced by end November 2025. We hope that this fun initiative will galvanise the public in strengthening their commitment towards eco-conscious practices in their everyday lives.
