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.

Other effects include health hazards. The disposed cartridges with the left over ink in them are very harmful. It may combine with the water table causing serious problems to the person drinking it. Even the inhalation of the gas emitted through them is harmful for the respiratory tract and the lungs.

As there are a lot of used cartridges found in the landfills, it adds extra pressure on the environment. Recycling cartridges encourages people to use the same cartridges again instead of dumping them into the landfills and also prevents them from buying the new ones. Recycling printing cartridges can have a lot of positive effects 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.

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.
