Remanufactured Cartridge Benefits
Remanufactured toner cartridges are very environmentally friendly. The best form of recycling is reuse of the original product. Reusing toner cartridges reduces the use of oil and the creation of greenhouse gases.
A single toner cartridge can take up to 1 litre of oil to make. The plastic is not biodegradable and some estimates put the life of a cartridge in a landfill at thousands of years before it finally breaks down.
Another study has claimed that each kilogram of toner cartridge plastic manufactured creates 6 kgs of greenhouse gases.
Regardless of the accuracy of these claims it is clear that toner cartridge plastic is bad for the environment and that the use of remanufactured cartridges reduces the number of original cartridges made.
Good for the New Zealand economy
In addition to the environmental benefits using remanufactured cartridges is good for the New Zealand economy.
Most cartridge remanufacturers are small to medium businesses providing local employment and using local goods and services wherever possible. While it is true that most of the components used in remanufactured toner cartridges are imported those items which can be are sourced locally. For example all packaging used by Second Image is bought from a local company.
In addition, local remanufacturers conserve foreign exchange through import substitution and provide consumers with a choice of product which they would not otherwise have.
Consequently, using remanufactured toner cartridges makes good sense from the point of view of both the environment and the economy.
Of course there are also substantial cost savings for the user and, when cartridges are fully guaranteed, as they are by Second Image, there is no risk.
