Seems like the headline and article itself are missing the main point

printer cartridges that can't be refilled or that don't have a take-back program offered by the vendor.

It may be barely mentioned but I read this are requiring a program to take back cartridges

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago

Are there requirements for these programs? Or can they make it as onerous as possible to disincentivize usage of said program? (More rhetorical than anything)
