Upcoming New Association: RCRA Rajasthan Cartridge Recyclers Association (RCRA) has over 100 members and partners from imaging industry including refillers, remanufacturers, dealers, retailers, distributors and importers from Rajasthan. The aim of RCRA to prevent low-quality compatible cartridges crippling the recycling industry which includes refilling and remanufacturing and prevent the increase in landfills and harm to the environment due to dumping of use-and-throw cheap cartridges. The cheap Chinese-made market compatibles are use-once-and-throw cartridges and are unfit for refilling. These cartridges besides giving very low-quality output are also bringing down MoP and profit margins. On other hand, if OEM toner cartridges are reused, the crude oil used in the cartridge is also saved, will also provide business opportunity for those 44

selling high quality cartridge parts, toner powders, etc and livelihood to the 1000s of refillers in the market, besides decreasing the load of increasing landfills of the use-and-throw cartridges on the environment. If compatibles are prevented and reman & refilling are encouraged, it will also prevent the flight of valuable foreign currency out of the country as most of the low-quality compatible cartridges are imported from China. Among the challenges to this initiative (of RCRA) remains lack of education among the users that cheap compatibles give poor quality and are costly in the long run. Also the partners in the industry lack boldness to say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;NOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the users of cheap compatibles. The providers also should not provide recycling and refilling services at too low prices, which will badly hurt the smaller players. This needs a unified actions standardization of service prices; in other words, the recycling industry should aim at more organized action.
