PBS Business Solutions launches Waste Toner Recycling Program
PBS Business Solutions is launching a new Waste Toner Recycling Program in partnership with Canon UK and WBM Ltd
PBS Business Solutions is delighted to announce the launch of our Waste Toner Recycling Program, designed to help customers responsibly dispose of empty toner and waste toner cartridges. In partnership with Canon UK and Waterloo Business Management (WBM) Ltd, this initiative ensures that consumables from leading brands including Canon, HP, Ricoh, and Sharp are properly recycled rather than sent to landfill.
This program will be available from November 2024 for all customers with a PBS Business Solutions service agreement.
How does it work?
Collection - when you have empty toner or waste toner cartridges ready, simply contact our service team to arrange collection.
Storage and shipping - we will collect and store the materials at our Jersey and Guernsey warehouse locations before shipping them to WBM’s dedicated UK recycling facility in Oldham.
Recycling process - at WBM’s recycling facility, materials are carefully sorted into reusable and non-reusable components. Reusable materials are processed and sent back to their Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to be used in the production of new consumable products. Non-reusable materials undergo a raw-material recovery process, where plastics and metals are cleaned, separated, and supplied to companies that can repurpose them into new products.
Zero landfill commitment - non-recyclable materials will undergo energy recovery, preventing waste from ending up in landfill.

Why this matters
PBS Business Solutions is committed to reducing environmental impact, ensuring that waste consumables are reused, repurposed, or recycled through a certified and sustainable process.
Our partnership with WBM provides customers with a simple, cost-effective recycling solution, guaranteeing that empty toner and waste toner cartridges are disposed of responsibly.
How much does it cost?
As a Canon partner, we are pleased to offer this recycling service completely free of charge, thanks to WBM’s partnership with Canon UK.
However, because we are not based on the UK mainland, we must cover additional costs, including logistics, labour, storage, shipping, and import tax to transport materials to the UK for recycling. An Environmental Levy Charge of £3.75 per cartridge will be applied to all toner or waste collection unit sales orders for print fleets managed under a PBS service agreement contract.
If you are not under contract with PBS Business Solutions or have waste consumables purchased from another supplier that you would like us to recycle, please contact us for a quote.
