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.

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.

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.

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.
