If you are like most, it is so much easier to toss your used inkjet and toner cartridges in the garbage then to take time to reuse or recycle them. Over 13 cartridges are discarded in the U.S. every second, according to Cartridge Fundraising.com and that adds up to valuable space in our landfills.
That’s hundreds of millions of cartridges that end up in landfills every year, made with plastics that can take at least 1,000 years to decompose. Not a good thing.
It’s actually easy to cut down on this waste.
First off, some inkjet cartridges can be used more than once by locating companies that have an eye for the environment and recycle cartridges. Not only can they save your hundreds of dollars every year by offering discount toner and cartridges, they are also helping the environment. Many companies, such as Hewlett-Packard, take them back for free. They provide mailers or labels for you to ship them back to be recycled or refurbished.
It takes about 80% less energy to remanufacture plastic than to produce it new. And remanufactured laser cartridges use about half the amount of oil (a nonrenewable fossil fuel) needed to make brand new ones. So buy recycled cartridges to begin with. You’ll save them from entering the waste stream.
Recycled Ink Jet Cartridges can be used instead of the new original cartridges. These cartridges have been carefully recycled to guarantee high quality and expected performance. They offer you a money saving alternative to the costly new original cartridge all while saving our environment.
There are many companies looking for ways to help with recycling and help lower the cost of doing business today.
