Disposing ink cartridges into rubbish bins and landfills can cause a great amount of harm to the environment as well as acuatic and miniature life.
Plastics that are used in inkjet cartridges can take over ten centuries to decompose naturally.
Acute health hazards associated with unsafe disposal of ink cartridges include irritation, redness and swelling of skin, irritation of eyes, stomach upset (if ingested), irritation of the respiratory tract (in case of prolonged inhalation). Most importantly, carbon black has been classified as carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Around three ounces of oil are needed to make 1 brand new ink cartridge. Recycling helps lower this cost to a considerable degree.
An estimated 11 million gallons of oil can be saved in only seven months by ink cartridge recycling.
With students averaging 8 inkjet cartridges, schools using 300 or more laser printer cartridges and businesses using 900 to 1600 inkjets and laser printer cartridges each year, we are producing and accumulating waste at an incredible rate.
In the U.S. alone, more than 13 cartridges are disposed of every second, totaling an estimated 375 million each year. The total weight of these cartridges is equivalent to 67,612 Ford Explorers or 112,463 Volkswagen Beetles.
There really are too many shocking facts to list. The total amount of waste that we produce is staggering, and if we could only find more ways to tackle the problem the better off we would all be. Recycling your ink cartridges is a great way to start and would also save you a lot of money, which is a really important aspect in everybodys lives.
