Canon x McDull Inter-school Ink Cartridge Recycling Competition
Environmental protection and waste reduction are crucial to the success of sustainability. As an environmentally conscious organization, Canon Hongkong Company Limited (Canon Hong Kong) envisions a green and sustainable future, advocating a greener way to operate our business. Since 2009, Canon Hong Kong has launched the “Ink Cartridge Recycling Program” and invited the famous cartoon character “McDull” as the program’s ambassador. Currently, Canon Hong Kong has placed over 280 recycling boxes for collecting empty ink cartridges.
Canon believes the young generation definitively plays a vital role in sustainable development. In 2011, Canon Hong Kong extended the Ink Cartridge Recycling Program to the education sector and organized the “Canon x McDull Inter-school Ink Cartridge Recycling Competition” to encourage active participation of primary and secondary schools. Since its launch, it has received overwhelming support from the education sector and over 180 local schools participating in this program. To enhance awareness among students, we would like to invite more local schools to join the 13th Canon x McDull Inter-school Ink Cartridge Recycling Competition, to compete for fabulous prizes.
