Many people are now aware of how inkjet cartridges have negative effects on the environment. Inkjet cartridges seem to be on their way to landfills right after they run out of ink. Hewlett-Packard is among the leading companies in inkjet cartridge manufacturing, and yet it’s publicised efforts to go green cannot be neglected. It has pledged to utilize recycled plastic to make their inkjet cartridges. Recycled components keep plastic out of landfills & saves energy. It’s important to note that HP’s recycled ink cartridges are not remanufactured ones. HP’s approach is to take existing materials and combine them to make new cartridges. Remanufactured ones make use of original cartridges to be refilled. HP’s efforts can serve as a good example of an efficient recycling model.
