It's More Than Business, It's About Future..

Well, It's been few months we have not done any updating on this site due to some hectic schedule. However, as promised in the first article that more insight information regarding this remanufacturing business will be revealed.

Lets start with plastic wastage. Okay plastic wastage which consist of some broken CPUs, laptops, PC accessories, monitors etc... among all the mentioned wastage are no doubt hazardous to the environment if they are not taken care properly. However, the major threat posed among the plastic wastage are ink and toner cartridges as these consumables are thrown away once finished while CPUs and laptops as well as accessories are not that frequently in the dump-list.

That is why ink and toner cartridges are considered one of the most potent-environment-killer due to the the plastic material used to build the cartridges will take at least 1000 years to decompose and is mixed resin, one of the most difficult plastic to recycle. Other circumstances like the leaked ink might be absorbed by the ground.

Around the globe, estimated over 350 million cartridges are dumped each year which the total weight is equivalent to more than 67000 Ford Explorers or over 110000 Volkswagen Beetles!! Or I would say that gotto be one hell of a Tsunami-cartridge dump fest going on !!!

Alright so we were talking about cartridges made of plastic and how the situation might turn astray if the dumping rate of OEM or virgin cartridges are not curb as soon as possible; but do you all know that the plastic is made from petroleum (oil) products. Okay. For your information, the average of each plastic in cartridge requires almost a gallon of oil in it's production!!!

(1 Gallon = 4.5 Liters)

As a result, if the world still keep up the pace of OEM cartridges production .... indirectly or perhaps we should say directly this issue will affect the natural resources decreasing to an alarming-low level. Once the natural resources are drying up and the balance of the mother earth will be affected tremendously. The signs are there for all to see mainly global warming issue.

So I say it is time to cut down but NOT wipe out the production of virgin product and begin remanufacturing to preserve or at least slow down the exploitation of natural resources like oil in cartridge plastic production.

Lastly, I hope this brief article can open up most of your perspective regarding remanufacturing business which users must understand that they are not using remanufactured cartridges for the sake of cost saving purpose but most crucial of all... for the future as well....

Unfortunately, most users are still reluctant to use remanufactured product due to the fact that they are still in the state of mind where the OEM threaten them with warranty issue, support issue etc... In fact they have done a fantastic job of brain-washing the consumers with their brilliant strategy.

Stay tune for the next topic as I will uncover the truth behind the masterminded-strategy to halt the remanufacturing business by the OEM organisations.
