Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone know where I could recycle my used Fuji Instax cartridges? (both the Instax wide and the Instax mini ones).
Not sure if it qualifies for plastic recycling here in North America. I see the cartridge has a recycle sign but it's in Japanese so suspect only Japan may know how to recycle it??

Have you asked Beau Photo?

It should be "PS".

(Here any plastic packaging is collected collectively. Thus I have not to bother sorting icons...)

I use them as picture frames for my favorite photos. Slip the photo under the plastic film light trap on the side to get it inside the frame. They are free-standing but also can be easily hung on a wall with a small tack or brad, due to their light weight.

The picture idea frame is pretty cool. Thanks for that!

I'll also check with Beau Photo. I hope they do. The more these resources can be put back into the system, the better!
