Recycling Recycling Cartridges Self-filling Selling Duplicate Profits Doubled

In the eyes of the public, waste printer cartridges that are worthless and difficult to handle can actually sell at high prices! In the past few days, the reporter made an unannounced visit to a recycling trader near Electronic Technology Plaza in Xinghu Road, Nanning, and found that some recyclers flushed the recovered ink cartridges and refilled them. After affixing a certain brand of labels, they re-listed. For the current recovery system is not perfect, some experts suggest that the competent authorities to strengthen supervision at the same time, ink cartridge brand businesses should establish a recycling mechanism to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and businesses.

Recycler

Cartridge Recycling Fills Itsself For Sale

On the morning of March 13, on the sidewalk in front of Nanning Electronic Technology Plaza, a cardboard was placed on the ground near several recyclers, which read “High-cost recycling cartridges and ink cartridges.” The “high price recovery” is very eye-catching. The reporter spoke of a "business" with one of Zhao's recyclers.

The recycler told reporters that the original cartridge recycling price is generally between 30 yuan and 40 yuan, the higher the new model price will be higher, the price of different brands is not the same, HP, Canon's recovery price is slightly higher, if Not original, the price will be lower.

Why do these people need to recycle cartridges at a high price? A recycler inadvertently broke the "stranger." Not far from Zhao's recycler, a middle-aged man is checking the cartridge he just received. His wife Zhang told reporters that they have been recycling the ink cartridge business for more than 10 years. The recovered ink cartridges are generally transferred to manufacturers. Sometimes they will also put some original empty ink cartridges with ink and then install the brand. The trademark is sold again. “Actually, we only made small heads. The bulk of them were earned by the boss. They had equipment to refurbish, and finally sold them to people at higher prices. We can earn a few dollars by recycling one,” said Zhang.

After several twists and turns, the reporter found the "industry people" Zhang Lin (a pseudonym) under the introduction of the insider. According to him, the recovered ink cartridges generally have a starting price of 20 yuan to 50 yuan. As long as the circuit board and the nozzles are in good condition, they are taken to the underground factory for cleaning and filling defective ink, and then they are affixed with fake trademarks and fake packaging. A brand-new ink cartridge, the cost of refurbishment is only ten or twenty dollars. Remanufactured cartridges are sold for about $100, and some brands can sell at higher prices.

Zhang Lin revealed that the renewal of the recovered cartridge cartridges is already an open secret in the printing supplies industry. Moreover, the counterfeiting process of the ink cartridge is very simple, and the counterfeiter only needs to purchase the ink cartridge filling device, the head cleaning device, and the chip decoding device. After simple cleaning of the recovered original empty ink cartridges, the refilling of cheap ink or chips, and the attachment of fake labels, will be refurbished into "imitation original" or "domestic" brands and sold out. The whole process takes less than 10 minutes.

How big is the "retrofit" profit of ink cartridges? Zhang Lin calculated an account: The recovery of an original ink cartridge, filling the inferior material, the cost as long as more than 30 yuan. After affixing a regular brand name, it can sell for around 150 yuan, and the profit posing as a famous brand is even greater.

Mechanism is not perfect

Lead to recovery of gray interest chain

Ms. He, who lives in Nanning North Dalu Road, told reporters that she had installed an HP inkjet printer at home. After each cartridge was used up, she would sell the empty cartridges to a recycling hawker downstairs. When the reporter asked her why she did not hand over to the brand owners, Ms. He said: “They are free to recycle, and they have to be sold for a certain amount before they are sold to the hawkers.”

The reporter called (HP) ink cartridges recycling company in China to understand the situation of ink cartridges, the staff of the office said that only recycled models of the original HP supplies, in the area covered by the courier, the customer fills in the official website of the brand to fill out the application form, generally Will be returned within 5 working days. The minimum amount of recovery is 15 cartridges. If there is an ink cartridge, 5 cartridges are equivalent to 1 cartridge. In other words, only ink cartridges can be used to collect 75 ink cartridges.

Zhang Lin told reporters that large manufacturers such as Hewlett-Packard and Canon did not recycle all types of consumables. For example, Hewlett-Packard only reclaimed some models of print cartridges. Well, after these consumables are used up, there are only two ways: they either fall into the hands of counterfeiters or are thrown away as waste. At present, "recycling" and "remanufacturing" of printing consumables have problems such as the lack of formal channels and incomplete standards and regulations, which has led some people to use regulatory loopholes to carry out illegal recovery.

Experts said

Increased supervision is the key

The department of environmental protection and quality supervision stated that the residual ink in the printer cartridges could contaminate 60 cubic meters of clean water. After the hawkers recovered the cartridges and ink cartridges, they did not understand the relevant knowledge and had no professional equipment. During the process of cleaning old ink cartridges and toner cartridges, It will cause great damage to the soil, water, and the atmosphere. The production process of counterfeit and inferior compatible consumables and original consumables formula is different. The heavy metal content is large and contains carcinogenic components. This will not only pollute the environment but also cause harm to human health. In addition, counterfeit products with original brands or well-known brands of consumables sold below the price of genuine products not only harmed the interests of consumers, but also damaged the original brand image.

The reporter was informed that the State has already promulgated the Regulations on the Administration of the Recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Products (implemented on January 1, 2011), but at present, the electronic recycling market in Nanning still lacks effective supervision. Relevant experts said that recycling toner cartridges is conducive to environmental protection. However, after recycling, adding inferior toner to sell it again has no way of talking about environmental protection. Remanufactured ink cartridges will not only shorten the life of the printer, but also cause printer failures, such as frequent ink leakage, paper jams, poor print quality, and printer nozzle clogging. He believes that law enforcement agencies should increase market supervision, and consumers must also establish a correct sense of consumption. At the same time, powerful manufacturers should implement strict recovery and reprocessing procedures to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and branded businesses.
