TESCO has launched a recycling scheme which aims to tackle environmental problems and help find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.

With the increasing use of computers, the number of used ink jet cartridges being used and ending up on landfill sites is rising.

Tesco is appealing for used cartridges to be deposited in freepost envelopes at 650 stores across the country and is planning to give £2 to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust for every cartridge received.
