Hopefully they'll respond soon with some solutions because I hate throwing crap like that away. I know it's never going to decompose. I wrote to them asking about a recycling program in the states.

Bins are being set-up in retail outlets to throw spent cartridges, however there are only two retail outlets participating at the moment, no major supermarkets!

Very bad plastic for many reasons. If they could sell it with a glass one, that would great. Thanks for the info.

We can't take them to our recycling centres, but can send them in the post to Brita, who recycle them. I believe they are required to by European Law, which makes the producer take back items when their useful life is over, and recycle them. I'd be happy to send you a used filter and box, if that helps. Do you know about the filter sold by Natural Collection, which is a packet of filter bits, to refill a reuseable plastic housing? http://www.naturalcollection.com/natural-products/Pure-Deliciously-Clean-Water-Whenever-You-Want.aspx Hi – I’m in London, and use the Brita Classic filters.

I believe it was because Brita changed hands to Clorox or something evil like that. Regardless, they are in complete control of their design, what plastics go into it, and if and how these can be recycled. They are just being greedy.
