It is after all very close to the recylced plastics industry... for the toner cartridges, that is another good question. Although, I would also say that the replacements you refer to are often so cheap because the do not simply chuck the toner cartridges.. and if HP follows suit... then we are all better off for it.

(there has been a lot of criticism of companies not bringing cutting-edge or sustainable practices to China because there is not the same pressures as in the 'West) on the side, though this is great, i wonder what % of total buyers of ink cartridges buy from the Brands and how many buy the cheap alternatives from eBay and other shops, with lower quality ink etc (but 1/5th of the price)? aah, but when will that product go on sale in China?
