What is recycling?

The issue happens to be something that I am concerned and involved with on a day to day basis.  I am completely aware of the impact I am making when recycling on the behalf of my customers and even in my own affairs.  This has made me realize that there are people that do rarely think about the concept of recycling, going Green, being efficient with the resources and materials we already have at our disposal.  I have realized that I can offer some great insight to another person regarding going Green and becoming more sustainable.  I know I can make a difference one person at a time, or “one farm at a time”.  How about we all try to contribute in some meaningful way.  Talk to a co-worker, friend, parents, sibling,  or customer about the positive impact becoming eco-friendly has on our communities and within your own life.

Recycling means taking materials from products you have finished using and making brand new products with them. For example, most of the aluminum cans in the United States are made with recycled aluminum. So if you drink juice or soda from a can, recycle that can instead of throwing it in the trash. That can will stay in the Recycling Loop and out of the landfill.

So when you look at this definition and apply it to printer supplies, ink and toner cartridges, think of the tremendous impact this can have on our well being if more recycling is done.  There are over 800 million cartridges that will be thrown out on our planet just this year alone.  This is a staggering figure.  Think about how much oil and metals we must produce and extract from the Earth just to produce it, never mind dispose.  We really should do our best to recycle and to support the remanufacturing companies that offer sustainable ink and toner products for less money.  Check us out at www.inksolutionsma.com next time you need ink or toner and do the right thing for the Planet.
