I actually find Wifi useful.

Question, what's the deal with the toner cartridges plastic? It looks like a lot of thick plastic. I get to buy a new one and throw the old one, or refill one with the "not recommended non-original toner".

Does the manufacturer offer some other environment friendly option?

Brother offers free recycling for all their cartridges.

It's good to know. Unfortunately, in Uruguay we're not part of the 28 countries where Brother has recycling in place [1]. And I don't think we get any real alternative except for rogue refilling of the cartridges, or just recycle it as regular plastic waste.

Still, I consider having recycling in 28 countries to be pretty good.
