    Cheap Chinese Cartridges Adds Million of Tons Waste to Eu. Nations
    Cheap Chinese Cartridges Inreases Million of Tons Waste in Croatia
    The problem of increasing waste in the world, is now affecting Croatia.

    Discounted Oem Laser printers in Croatia are leading to a mass consumption of toners .Cheap printers have led to the rejection of old printers thus making Original Toner Cartridges to be sold at higher prices forcing consumers to turn  to cheap Chinese cartridges.

    The Croatia Toner recycling industry is threatened and can not compete with these cheap Chinese cartridges,thus causing empty toner cartridges to increase Millions of tons of waste in Croatia, since it is prohibited from discard the empty toners in Croatia.

    But something else is going on every day.
    Basically empty toners end up in garbage dumps and are taken by a special company engaged in "supposiley to take care of these empty toner for remanufacturing " But instead Companies such as Ekooperativa, take the empty cartridges, and the service charge, collect and transport them to the final treatment, in Austria. The final processing of these empty toner cartridge is they are burnet in an incinerators , this is wery known in Vienna Austria .

    Because Croatia is on the acquisition of European technology, for waste disposal, known as RDF, Refuse-Derived Fuel.The fate of Empty toners in waste dumps was also determined… Unfortunately.This technology cement lobby wants, (Holcim, Cemex), to build another incinerator plants in Croatia to turn waste into RDF which is then used as fuel for the cement industry

    The unstable relations in the global marketplace leads to burning of waste and increases global warming

    I hope that the imminent entry of Croatia in the EU union changes the situation for the better ?
