As the summer months passes by and about to come to an end, many of us
have enjoyed the summer time and the wonderful weather outdoors. Whether we
took nice strolls down the beach, went on family camping trips in the
mountains, or went fishing with our friends on a lake, we were reminded how
beautiful our nature is. More importantly, how important it is for us to
conserve our environment.
In terms of environmental stewardship, there is a hierarchy of
preferred practices: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. From first to last in this
list, the greatest benefit to our limited resources and environment can be
found. Of course, this means the best
way to become an environmental guru is to reduce usage. In terms of toner
cartridges, the ultimate environmentally friendly solution is to cut down on
the number of pages printed. This saves the most money, the most resources, and
has zero land fill waste impact. To reduce usage is the best option, but there
are times when printing is simply needed. In fact, statistics suggest that the
amount of pages printed each year continues to increase, which comes as a major
surprise in this increasingly digital world.
Since we are not reducing usage as expected, it is becoming paramount
that we explore the latter two options in the hierarchy, to reuse and recycle
when it comes to printing. By recycling the parts of the original cartridge and
reuse the treated parts in remanufacturing, we are contributing to
environmental stewardship while enjoy the cost savings.
Here are four major benefits in using a properly remanufactured toner
cartridge:
(1) Resource Conservation: A
typical used toner cartridge consists of 40% plastic and 40% metal with the
remaining 20% made up of foam, rubber, and left over toner. Over 90% of these materials are treated and
then reused in a remanufactured cartridge.
(2) Energy Conservation: The energy equivalent of 3 quarts of oil is
consumed in the manufacturing of a new cartridge. While there is energy
consumed in the transportation of empty cartridges, it is far less than what is
used to make a new cartridge.
(3) Monetary Cost Savings: Remanufactured cartridges are less costly
than newly manufactured cartridges, offering a savings to consumers of up to
75% less than the cost of new. Printer manufacturers are known to charge very
high prices for new cartridges.
(4) Reduce Landfill Needs:
Whenever a cartridge is remanufactured or recycled (after the cartridge is
beyond useful life for remanufacturing), there is a reduction in the demand for
land fill space. The plastic in a toner cartridge takes at least 1,000 years to
decompose in the landfill.
Most of us already use recycle
paper to conserve our trees. However, over 75% of the printers still use newly
manufactured toner cartridges to print instead of recycling and reusing the
cartridges. While recycled papers are widely accepted, one issue with using
recycle toners is concerns for print quality. In addition, campaigns by printer
manufacturers that postulate that all aftermarket toners are dangerous to
printer machines. When a toner cartridge is carefully remanufactured with all
the parts properly treated, the risks of the two aforementioned concerns are
essentially close to zero.
At Toner Spot, our production
lines follow rigorous processes to carefully select quality recyclable gears
and carefully treat all the selected parts to ensure high quality performance
after the cartridge is remanufactured. Additionally, all the remanufactured
toner cartridges undergo various tests to ensure the high quality standards. We
are so confident in our products that all of our remanufactured toner and ink cartridges
come with a one year satisfaction guarantee.
