Editor's Notes
When ink cartridges are disposed, some chemicals are considered corrosive, flammable, and toxic. as lon as its some picture that can demonstrate the point is fine; Also, toner drums have Cadmium, which is toxic.
High energy consumption of laser printers demand more electricity (Energy is one of those printer-related problems. It takes about 5.3 W to print 10 pages. During operation, printing would use 2.4 kW per hour. This amount of energy is enough to keep a 100-watt light bulb on for 24 hours every time a printer is used for one hour) and add a picture of a nuclear power plant or some smoke coming out of power plant
