Cartridge Recycling Can Help Protect 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
