Recycled Cartridges

By Bradd Alan


Whether it is an original equipment manufacturer, or a recycled toner cartridges, the life of the cartridges is very short. It doesn't matter if you are regularly using the printer or it is left out. The cartridge of the laser toner will be thrown out within a span of 2 years from the time you purchase it. There must be a reason behind the spoilage of the cartridge. Before knowing the reason behind the spoilage of the toner cartridge it is important to know the usage of a toner. The toner cartridge is a device that is used in a printer to print thing on the paper.

To avoid the pollution, companies have made an effort to recycle the cartridges. They either collect the used cartridges form the dumping locations or by directly contacting through mails. After they have collected the cartridges they segregate them according to their model no and separate them into its constituent parts. The worn out parts are separated and replaced. The cartridges are refurbished and then the toner is field in the cartridge. The recycled cartridge is easily made within a quarter of the cost, it is even better than the new one. The following are certain advantages and importance of recycling cartridges.

There are a lot of efforts put behind the making of the printer toner cartridges. This makes the complex printing in the past a simple one in the present situation. The growth of the modern technology was the only reason behind the rise of the toner cartridges. It is prepared with the combination of various industrial polymers and carbon atoms where used to hold the polymers strongly. This allows the printer to make small particle sizes. The plastic particles of the toner cartridges help the printer to produce particle in higher resolution too.

In the preparation of a single cartridge lots of fossil fuels are used, which results in the emission of lots of greenhouse gases. Recycling does not involve the processes involved in the production of new cartridges. So it prevents the production of greenhouse gases. Other benefits of recycling cartridges are it conserves other resources i.e. timber, aluminium and other resources used while manufacturing of the cartridge.

The toner cartridge is very sensitive, when it is exposed to any of the following i.e. sunlight, moisture or heat, it gets affected by it and gets destroyed. For example when the toner is exposed to moisture it gets soft and wet which is not good for printing. Another major reason that affects the toner cartridges is the direct exposure to the sunlight.

You also need to keep the toner cartridge away from any kind of heat source. As heat might melt the cartridge and it might get stuck in the printer. You should have complete knowledge about the sensitivity of the cartridge and the effects of exposing it to the natural environment. So that you can make suitable arrangements for the storage of the cartridges, so that it can last for a long time.

Recycling of cartridges also conserves land; the cartridges are dumped in land filled sites. With the increase in the number of cartridges there is more need of land to dispose them.

If used simultaneously one after another while keeping the cartridges at proper condition. The cartridges can last for ever. Moreover the cartridge also work well with the cheap inks available, only advice if you use the cheap ink for printing then make sure you clean the cartridge at regular intervals. This might help you to increase the life of the toner cartridge.
