Inkjet and laser toner cartridges are an ever-growing problem for our landfills. The vast majority of them are thrown away after only one use. By some estimates, as many as 8 cartridges are thrown away in the United States every second.
Every cartridge reused is one less cartridge thrown into our landfills. Here are a few good reasons to recycle your printer cartridges:
- It takes about a gallon of oil to make a new laser cartridge.
- In North America alone, over 350 million cartridges per year are discarded in our landfills, and that number increases by 12 percent annually!
- A laser cartridge thrown into landfill can take up to 450 years to decompose. Some components made of industrial grade plastics will take over a thousand years to decompose.
- Remanufacturing cartridges reduces pollution. Almost 90% of empty cartridges are incinerated or dumped in landfills.
- 70 percent of used printer cartridges throughout the world are currently being thrown out.
- In one year, if the world's discarded cartridges were stacked end-to-end, they would circle the earth over three times!
