How Recycling Cartridges Is Beneficial For The Environment?

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.

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.

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.

Recycling cartridges also reduces the pressure of decomposition on the environment. The decomposition is a very slow process. The cartridges are made of several constituents like plastics, which are made from combining number of polymers. The polymers also have carbon atoms that hold them together. The carbon atoms hold the polymers strongly, as results it becomes difficult to convert them into smaller particles for decomposition.

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.

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.

Trees help us for oxygen supply and reducing the cutting down of trees will help us to have more air to breathe. Therefore, recycling plays a very integral part in protecting the environment and recycling cartridges is a major step toward sustainable development.
