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.

Recycling cartridges should be a matter of concern. Every second person in this technological influenced era tends to have a computer at home. Almost all of them have their own personal printer. The more a person uses a printer the more number of printing cartridges is used every year. In all total a person uses an average of 3-4 cartridges per year which are considered to be waste after its usage. Recycling the following used cartridges we can have solve two problems. 1. It reduces the waste materials all the cartridges are recycled and new ones are produced from it. 2. It also save lot of money as recycling prevents the production of new cartridges.

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.

Like the decomposition of other plastic materials even the printing cartridges take a long time. Other than just the cartridge, the ink left in the cartridge is also very harmful. The left out ink may seep into the underground table and pollute it. Therefore recycling cartridges is necessary as it reduces the need for decomposition also prevents its side effects. Other than the cartridges recycled are used again and again.

Recycling printer cartridges also play an important role in protecting natural resources. There is a huge amount of resources used for the production of new cartridges. If the cartridges are recycled then it will help you save lots of natural resources, which include oil, plastic, aluminium, rubber, natural gas and also timber. This brings us to the point that using recycled cartridges you can also save lot of trees which is the major concern in today's world.

Recycling cartridges will save tree and in turn increase oxygen level throughout the world. Recycling cartridges has become a major task and an essential need to save the environment. It is the simplest way to support the environment for sustainable development.
