- Buying new ink cartridges cost a lot of money, and throwing them away when done is bad for the environment. Ink cartridges contain 3.5 oz of oil and can take up to 1,000 years to decompose.
- Placing these items in a dumpster isn’t a wise move since they are not biodegradable.
- Many home printers go through ink faster than some people read a book.
- The price of replacing ink for a printer are so costly, one might as well buy a new printer after the third cartridge.
- Recycling used printer ink is not only environmental friendly, but saves money and is easier than you think.
- Many office supply stores recycle ink cartridges and offer their customers a place do drop off their used ink when they walk in the store.
- Some stores even offer credit for returning used ink. These credits can be used to buy other items in the store, saving the customer money.
- Another way to save is buying used ink cartridges; these are less expensive than new ink packages. Recycling means they were reused, no additional machines were needed to make them, so it’s good for the environment.
Stop throwing away ink and save the earth, and your wallet.
