Here are some of the reasons why you should recycle your printer ink cartridges:
Reduces Environmental Impact— Millions of ink cartridges are thrown away every single year, and it can take up to 1,000 years for them to decompose. Recycling your ink cartridges can reduce the amount of air and water pollution (because of having to manufacture new cartridges), but it can also save energy.
Produces Less Waste— Even though the cartridge isn’t usable, it doesn’t mean it’s completely out of ink. This is especially true for tri-color cartridges, where not every color has completely run out. By recycling used ink cartridges, the remaining ink can be used (which can reduce the amount of waste). And even if it can’t be used, it can be disposed of in a way that won’t impact the environment.
Economic Benefits— Because recycling is cheaper than having to handle general waste, it can be beneficial to the economy because governments will be able to save money.
