HP utilizes recycled plastic for cartridges
Hewlett-Packard is continuing its greenish momentum. Next up: the billions of plastic cartridges it sells for its printers.
HP said it's the first company to be able to recycle old plastic - from H2O bottles to used ink cartridges - into new pressman ink cartridges. HP's process, which have been tested in a airplane pilot programme since 2005, is now ready to be set into widespread use.
So far, horsepower have made 200 million cartridges using the method. Last year, the company used more than than 5 million lbs of recycled plastic in its inkjet cartridges, and said it is committed to using twice as much in 2008.
HP have been taking back cartridges through a programme called Planet Partners. The new recycling procedure guarantees that the plastic and other stuffs in the ink cartridges don't stop up in a landfill. horsepower said the new cartridges will be made from 70 to 100 percentage recycled plastic.
The fast one is to interrupt down the stuff and then rework it to acquire it to a point where it can be set back to utilize in high-quality ink cartridges. horsepower said the quality of the cartridges is better than aged cartridges refilled with ink.
