Protect Your Environment- Recycling Cartridges

By Armando Rodriguez


Our environment is in a huge need of sustainable development. With the growth of the industries the growth of the waste materials has also increased. This plays a very vital role in maintaining the earth's absorbing capacity. There is a need for reducing the waste materials that are produced so often to protect the earth measures. One such step is the introduction of recycling printing cartridges. Recycling cartridges have a very positive impact on the environment.

There is a very genuine reason why you should concentrate on recycling cartridges? It's a fact that every second person has a computer at home, and among them every third person uses a printer. Now if a person uses three to four cartridges in a year then imagine the number of cartridges that fall out as waste materials. If the cartridge recycling is done, we get a two way profit from it. First, the recycled cartridges can again be used and they work as same as a new cartridge. Second, it reduces the cost of producing new cartridges, hence save lots of money too.

Dumping is one of the oldest methods of waste disposal. In this method, a big pit is made and all the waste materials are dumped into it. These results in a number of pollution, such as ground water pollution, the substances also emit greenhouse gases and also spread number of diseases. Recycling printer cartridges also prevents such landfilling of waste materials.

It also has some economic effects. A completely new toner cartridge is prepared by using several industrial polymers, which also include carbon as a major part. The process of preparation also involves oil, a small amount of heat sensitive plastic and also aluminium is used. The materials are very expensive and therefore it is considered to be an economic harm when they are thrown in the landfill sites after use.

It is a major concern for the world and recycling is considered to be the best solution to avoid the negative impacts of the used cartridges. There are lot of companies that help in recycling cartridges. They either collect the used cartridge from you or form the dumping yards and recycle it to make new ones. The companies also offer you money and buy the used cartridges form you to use them for recycling. The recycling is also a simple process. Once the used cartridges are collected, the components are separated and cleaned thoroughly and then sent to the remanufacturing industry where it is recycled. The recycling of the cartridges has been done regularly. There is a lot of empty toner cartridges recycled around the world.

It takes thousands of years for the cartridges to decompose. Moreover the ink left in the cartridges seep into the underground water table and pollute it. Encouraging printer cartridges recycling reduces the need of decomposition and also its effect; also the cartridges will be used more.

Used cartridges are one of the major causes of the pollution. Recycling cartridges also prevent land, water and air pollution. Excluding the cartridges form the waste materials prevents a lot of health and environmental hazards.

The recycled cartridges are easy available in the market. The processing cost of the recycled toner cartridges is low. Therefore the cost of the recycled cartridges is also very less compared to the new ones. The recycled cartridges also provide you with the same quality and durability as the new one. Also if you have empty cartridges at home, then you can get money in return of your used cartridge by the companies that buy use cartridges to recycle them.
