Cartridge Recycling Can Help Protect The Environment

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.

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.

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.

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.

It takes thousands of years for the cartridges to decompose. Moreover the ink left in the cartridges seep into the underground water table and pollute it. Encouraging printer cartridges recycling reduces the need of decomposition and also its effect; also the cartridges will be used more.

The production of cartridges involves the usage of lots of resources such as the oil, plastics, rubber, aluminium and also timber. Recycling cartridges helps to save the natural resources too. Protecting trees is one of the most discussed topics in the world. Recycling printer cartridges also reduces the cutting down of trees for timber.

Recycling cartridges will save tree and in turn increase oxygen level throughout the world. Recycling cartridges has become a major task and an essential need to save the environment. It is the simplest way to support the environment for sustainable development.
