3 Important Lessons About Ink

By Andrew Abeyta


By using recycled print cartridges in your home or business, you've found an excellent method of giving back to the environment that provides you so much. When making printer cartridges, plastic is the primary material used. Highly engineered polymers are the typical plastic used in the cartridges. When thrown away, the polymers will require up to a whole millennium to break down. More time is necessary when you throw the cartridges into a landfill. Any printer cartridges that are not recycled are thrown in a landfill. Recycled cartridges are one method of helping reduce the amount of waste that piles up in the landfills.

By recycling your old cartridges, you are also saving the amount of energy that is required for manufacturing new cartridges. In this way, switching over from new to recycled cartridges will save waste and energy.

Oil is another requirements for making a new printer cartridge. New ink cartridges of the standard design typically need to use about four ounces of oil in the process. We are all aware of how our world has a limited supply of oil. We will soon be facing a world where we have run out of oil.

Oil can be conserved by simply switching from new cartridge production to recycled cartridge use. Recycling experts have said that switching to recycled could save millions of barrels of oil in less than a full year. Reduction of oil use is a critical thing we all must do, since everything from cars, tires, plastics, and fuel is made from the same, limited oil supply.

By recycling our printer cartridges, people have estimated that we would be able to keep thousands of tons of plastic, metal, and other materials from ending up in the landfills. Those who can help with recycling used printer cartridges will be keeping the world from depositing thousands of tons of plastic into landfills, consuming millions of gallons of oil, and mining a lot of aluminum. The more waste that gets put in landfills, the more that we increase our levels of water and air pollution; for this reason, recycling cartridges is a great idea.

Pollution from the factories that make printer cartridges is another reason to switch over to recycled cartridges, since you will be eliminating that from our environment.

As you can see, there are many positive benefits to our world that you can contribute by switching your printers over to recyclable cartridges. You will keep resources from being wasted, prevent the air and water pollution that results from manufacturing and landfill use, and you can even save some money in the process.
