Abstract

This paper evaluates the environmental performance of remanufacturing a toner cartridge and compares it with the production of a new toner cartridge. The comparison was carried out through a life cycle assessment and two impact categories: climate change impact and abiotic depletion. According to the LCA result, remanufacturing of a toner cartridge in Sweden has 86% less environmental impact in comparison to producing a new one. The electricity consumption in remanufacturing processes is the main environmental concern, although the calculations were based on cleaner mix energy in Sweden with low CO2 emission per kWh, in comparison to other countries.
