Recycling inkjet cartridges is an easy way to save the environment and reduce the use of natural resources.

Buying a brand new inkjet cartridge every time it’s finished is a huge expense on the printer owner’s pocket. However, there is an easy way out to cut cost on expensive ink cartridges and save the ecosystem by refilling your ink cartridges. If an ink cartridge is empty then it does not mean that it’s worn out. You just need to refill the used cartridges. It has been found out that one can refill an inkjet cartridge thrice before it’s completely worn out.

You can easily recycle your worn out inkjet cartridges  by using the postage paid return envelopes which are included in the online inkjet cartridge purchase packets. Another way is to drop your empty ink cartridge to a recycle company which specializes in recycling the thrown out inkjet cartridges.

There are several benefits of recycling the inkjet cartridges:

• For every recycled  ink cartridge almost 3.5 oz of average oil quantity is saved that is required to produce a brand new inkjet cartridge.
• You can reduce a large number of landfills by recycling the discarded ink cartridges that are non-biodegradable and creates about 75,000 tons of waste annually.
• Recycling helps the companies by providing them work of either refilling or recycling the empty inkjet cartridges. The refilled cartridges are then put in the market at the discounted price, so that you save your money by purchasing them, instead of buying brand new cartridges.
• The left out ink in the discarded inkjet cartridges leaks into the ground which can be reduced on a large scale if you recycle the cartridges.

Thus, it is very important to recycle the used and worn out inkjet cartridges in order to save the environment and the future of human race.
