Lexmark

As a leading global developer, manufacturer and supplier of printing solutions Lexmark places extreme importance on its environmental standards. We have several programs in place to ensure empty cartridges are collected from users for recycling.

Pioneering this industry-wide program with Planet Ark is a logical extension of Lexmark's own environmental initiatives and is a proud achievement for Lexmark and the environment.

Our mission is simple, to deliver environmentally sustainable solutions with efficient products and creative recycling systems to reduce landfill and protect our environment.” - Rebekah O'Flaherty, VP & GM Imaging & Printing Group South Pacific
