About LOUSY

Have you ever wondered what happens to your empty printer cartridges after you’ve recycled them? The result is our 100% recycled ink. Lousy Ink’s mission is to turn waste into inspiration by recycling printer cartridge inks into sustainable art materials. Being proudly founded and made in Melbourne, Lousy Ink is a 2 person commitment created by artists, for artists. Working in collaboration with Cartridges 4 Planet Ark’s collection program, we are able to close the loop on waste generated by millions of printer cartridges across Australia. By engaging with the creative community, we inspire and educate others with shared passions and a common goal to use waste as a resource. Read their story
