The HIPP Foundation / New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) is known for its commitment to advancing and protecting the rights, benefits, and interests of public school employees and promoting great public education for every child. But did you know they’ve also found a powerful, eco-friendly way to raise funds while reducing landfill waste?
Through a partnership with Planet Green Recycle, the NJEA is using empty inkjet cartridge recycling and the sale of remanufactured and OEM surplus ink and toner as a way to generate funds – while encouraging sustainable habits across New Jersey’s communities and setting an example for the nation.
Recycling for a Cause
The NJEA is participating in the Planet Green Recycle fundraising platform under the Program ID 31808. This ID tracks all contributions, ensuring that every recycled cartridge or eligible ink purchase results in direct funding to support NJEA’s mission.
Here’s how it works:
- Individuals and organizations can mail in empty inkjet cartridges using free shipping labels provided by Planet Green Recycle referencing Program ID: 31808.
- For every eligible cartridge received using the Program ID: 31808, NJEA earns a cash contribution.
- Supporters can also purchase recycled ink and toner—including remanufactured, U.S.-made cartridges and OEM name-brand surplus—and 10% of each sale goes back to the NJEA when the Program ID: 31808 is used at checkout.
It’s an effortless way for NJEA members, supporters, and the wider community to turn household waste and everyday purchases into meaningful support for education.
Why This Matters
Inkjet cartridges are a hidden waste problem.
Over 375 million ink and toner cartridges are discarded every year in the U.S. alone—many ending up in landfills, taking centuries to decompose.
Planet Green Recycle offers a solution.
As the largest inkjet cartridge remanufacturer in the country, Planet Green Recycle provides a simple, no-cost way to recycle and reuse these materials, dramatically reducing environmental harm.
The NJEA is leading by example.
By participating in this initiative, the NJEA is not only raising funds—it’s also promoting environmental responsibility, resource conservation, and public engagement in sustainability.
