Konica Minolta UK has launched the ‘World on Loan’ recycling programme with Waterloo Business Management, which simplifies the recycling of a wide range of its consumables
Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK has announced the launch of its new ‘World on Loan’ consumables recycling programme, which aims to reaffirm its commitment to environmental responsibility and customer support.
Delivered in partnership with its new recycling provider, Waterloo Business Management (WBM), the updated service is designed to offer a streamlined, zero-landfill solution for recycling genuine Konica Minolta printer consumables.
As printer cartridge waste is classified as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), it is illegal to dispose of it in general waste or export it without proper authorisation. To combat this, Konica Minolta’s new programme offers a fully compliant recycling solution that collects, inspects, and processes used consumables for the recovery and reuse of raw materials.
Designed to support sustainability goals across organisations of all sizes, the programme enables customers and partners to manage orders, request collections, and access recycling documentation via a bespoke online portal.
The programme accepts a wide range of genuine Konica Minolta consumables including toner cartridges, bottles, drums, and maintenance kits. Secure collection boxes are supplied free of charge, and all recycling is handled by certified UK-based facilities operated by WBM.
Every collected item is processed using methods that prioritise recycling and minimise ecological impact. No waste is sent to landfill, and materials are repurposed into polymers and other reusable resources.
As part of the programme, transfer notes and recycling certificates will also be available for download within ten working days, in order to support ISO14001 and EMAS compliance.
Commenting on the new scheme, Ben Mills, environment manager at Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK, says: “We believe sustainability should be simple, secure, and accessible. This enhanced programme, supported by our partnership with WBM, reflects our ongoing commitment to reducing environmental impact while improving the customer experience.”
