Disposal and recycling of waste in Ukraine
There are laser printers in almost every office, especially if the company's business involves a large turnover. To print documents or create their paper copies use special ink - toners. In their composition there are toxic substances that are dangerous to the environment. In addition, a certain amount of danger after testing is the case itself for storing toner - a cartridge for the printer. It is made of plastic, the complete decomposition of which requires at least three hundred years. If such products fall to landfills and solid waste landfills, then under the influence of external factors, it begins to poison the ecosystem. Recycling cartridges - a mandatory requirement of environmental safety. You can order the service at UtilVtorProm.
What are dangerous printer cartridges?
A printer cartridge is a disposable consumable that can be disposed of after processing. Although some people use printer cartridges again (refilling them), it is extremely not recommended to do this, since such actions save money, but harm health.
As long as the cartridge case is sealed, the device does not pose a threat. But when it is mechanically damaged (or refilled), the microparticles of toner are released from the device. They are so small (no more than 3 – 4 microns) that the body is not able to identify them and bring them out (as, for example, in the case of ordinary dust: getting into the body, it is enveloped in mucus, and then coughed out). In the case of toner, the toxic substance remains in the body forever. Microparticles are deposited on the surface of the lungs, bronchi, with the result that they can not function properly. With constant poisoning, a person develops chronic diseases.
If, instead of disposing of printer cartridges, it is easy to dispose of the device with household waste, it will immediately cause several disasters:
In order to avoid an ecological catastrophe, cartridges for printers should also not be burned in the open air under any circumstances (this method of recycling cartridges is allowed only with the use of special ovens).
In order not to harm the environment, after processing the cartridges should be sent for recycling. It provides for the mechanical and heat treatment of raw materials. First, the waste devices are parsed and sorted. Toner is exposed to very high temperatures: up to 1000 degrees Celsius. This destroys the polymer bonds of the toner, creating safe chemical compounds. And the cartridge body is crushed into granules and melted down, which allows to obtain high-quality recycled materials.
Refuse to discard cartridges, of batteries, CDs and other wastes, their unauthorized release to landfills, garbage dumps, and even more so burning in the open air - a violation of environmental legislation. The offender bears administrative and legal responsibility. In particular, he faces a large fine, and a legal entity - also a loss of reputation.
