🖨️ Ink Cartridges: Recycled or Original – Which is better for the environment?
At a time when the ecological transition is becoming a priority in France, choosing your printing supplies is no small matter. Recycled or original ink cartridges: which is truly more environmentally friendly?
At Cartouche Verte, our mission is to make printing more responsible. Here's a clear comparison to help you make the right choice.
♻️ Recycled Cartridges: the ultimate eco-responsible option
Also called remanufactured, recycled cartridges are old original cartridges collected, cleaned, refilled and tested before being put back into circulation.
Their main assets:
🌿 Less waste: they prevent millions of cartridges from ending up in landfills.
🌿 Resource saving: no need to re-examine raw materials.
🌿 More efficient production: up to 38% less CO₂ emitted compared to a new cartridge – the equivalent of the annual emissions of 1,000 cars!
🆚 Original Cartridges: a heavier environmental footprint
Original cartridges are produced new, often by major brands. They offer excellent print quality, but their environmental impact is higher:
⚠️ Fossil resources: it takes about 2 liters of oil to make a single cartridge.
⚠️ CO₂ emissions: the manufacturing process is energy intensive.
⚠️ Sustainable pollution: a discarded cartridge takes several hundred years to decompose.
Although some brands now offer greener ranges (such as HP's EvoCycle series), this still lags behind the environmental benefits of recycled cartridges.
