Do Copiers and Printers Harm the Environment?
Yes!
What's Wrong with Toner Based Printers and Copiers?
Printers and copiers require a lot of supply parts like drums, developers, waste containers and transfer belts, none of which are environmentally friendly.
Additionally, copiers and printers require a lot of energy to heat the fuser which melts plastic powder toner onto paper.
Is Toner Environmentally Friendly?
The short answer is, No.
Toner, found in all laser printers and copiers, is a fine powder composed of plastic polymer and coloring chemicals which are not biodegradable and are associated with environmental damage. If that wasn't bad enough, printer toner cartridges are built from components that take between 450 and 1,000 years to break down.
Every single toner cartridge which has ever been created is still out there, somewhere.
