3 Interesting Factoids About Laser & InkJet Cartridges
You may have heard these factoids before...
...Did you know that each year over 500 million laser and inkjet printer cartridges are consumed. On average, each laser cartridge contains 2.5 pounds of plastic and one pound of metal, while inkjet cartridges contain a half pound of plastic. Less than 25% of these cartridges are recycled!
...Did you know that on average, three quarts of oil are burned to make each new cartridge. And with the increase in oil prices its no wonder that cartridge prices are going up as well.
...Did you know that the plastic used in a typical cartridge is industrial grade and takes approximately 1,000 years to decompose? Talk about a strain on the environment!
One of the reasons to select a compatible or remanufactured cartridge rather than an OEM cartridge is that it saves the environment!
So using compatible or remaufactured cartridges saves you in more ways than one!
