Cool Earth is a nonprofit organization that supports local communities in protecting rainforests across the globe. Brother has been a proud partner of Cool Earth for many years, supporting the organization’s initiatives both locally and worldwide. By recycling supplies in Europe, Brother customers automatically contribute to rainforest conservation. Since the partnership began, over 27 million trees have been planted, and more than 37 million tons of carbon have been sequestered.
When it comes to recycling supplies such as drums and toners, Brother takes full control. All supplies are recycled in-house at Brother’s own recycling facilities in Europe. This process ensures materials are reused in future products and handled sustainably.
By managing the entire recycling process internally, Brother offers customers of all sizes the option to return supplies free of charge. This guarantees every user that their products are processed in an environmentally responsible way.
