Cartridge Recycling Can Help Protect The Environment

By Armando Rodriguez


After several uses every toner cartridge comes to end i.e. it gets empty, and then people consider it useless and dispose it in the nearby dumping area. According to studies there are a lot of cartridges found in the dumping sites every year, the numbers may be in millions. Major part of waste effluents of several countries consists of the cartridges that are thrown out every year.

Throwing of printing cartridges ideally in the dumping ground causes lots of problems. It harms the environment is several ways. It takes thousands of years for a cartridge to get decompose, as it contains industrial polymers. It is harmful for the soil as well as the insects or worms leaving underground.

Waste material disposal is a matter of concern for everyone. One of the most traditional methods used to dispose the waste is dumping. Dumping simply means collecting all the waste materials in a big pit made in the ground. Though dumping is an effective method, it is also a cause of lot of pollution too. The substance in the pit is found to emit greenhouse gases, cause water pollution and also cause diseases. Recycling printer cartridges reduces some of the waste materials and prevents landfilling of the wastes.

The cartridges contains various toxic materials, the increased usage of printers has increases the number of cartridges in the dumping yard. Recycling the cartridges helps people to use the same cartridges again not only this but it also reduces the pressure on the land. Recycling of printer cartridges also has other positive impacts on the environment.

Decomposition is a natural process of the environment, it is a very slow process and the amount of waste materials adds extra pressure on it. Recycling the printer cartridges also helps decomposition. The constituents of cartridges are plastics that are prepared by combining several industrial polymers; the polymers are held strongly by the carbon atoms. This prevents them from being converted into small particles for decomposition.

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.

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.
