Protect Your Environment- Recycling Cartridges

By Armando Rodriguez


There is a huge need of sustainable development for the welfare of the environment. The growing industries have caused the growth of waste materials, which has a direct effect on earth's decomposing capacity. Simply reducing the waste materials can be the best solution. Therefore printer cartridge recycling has become a major concern. The recycling of the printing cartridges can easily be done. The recycled cartridges are found to have more positive impacts.

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.

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.

Recycling of cartridges is a very important and a necessary step it has several benefits towards the environment. For example, it helps to conserve the energy that is used in the preparation of new cartridges. Recycling cartridges is easier and less expensive compared to creation of new cartridges. Recycling is even cost effective as it saves a lot of money on raw materials required to make new cartridges. The dumping of the cartridges results in the emission of carbon dioxide.Recycling prevents dumping of toner cartridges and in turn prevents the emission of harmful gases.

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.

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.
