Discard the disposable cartridge completely

People who wear contact lenses know that "disposable" contact lenses are healthier to humans than other types of contact lenses because you can always discard old ones and buy new ones. At the same time, from an environmental point of view, it is also because such “disposal” is not as serious as the one-off consumer products that will have serious consequences for our environment.

However, if you use an "abandoned" type of ink cartridge, do you still say "abandoned"? However, only the high cost will not be said. Only this "abandoned" behavior will bring consequences to our living environment. Should we seriously consider it?

Shocking numbers

In the past, after the printer consumables were used up, they were always thrown away. Both manufacturers and users neglected to reuse it, and invisibly classified it as a “one-off consumer product”. What are the consequences of a single use of consumables? Let's look at a set of numbers like this:

According to statistics, taking Hong Kong as an example, the annual discarding of laser toner cartridges will occupy 660,000 hectares of landfills. If they can be fully recharged and reused, the remanufactured spare parts alone can save 1.88 million tons of crude oil and emit carbon dioxide. It can also be greatly reduced. The reduction is equivalent to 9 years of total breathing for the population of Hong Kong. All types of printers in China are net-increasing at a rate of 25%, producing more than 200,000 cubic meters of solid waste per year and reaching 1 million tons, which can fill 3000 trains. The landfills of these waste industrial rubbers will remain intact after 1000 years underground, and their material properties will not change over time. Moreover, if the current trend continues, by 2015, the available landfills will be fully filled, and Hong Kong will not have enough land for waste disposal.

Waste printer supplies have caused serious environmental pollution!
