Los Angeles could soon become the first major U.S. city to ban certain single-use printer cartridges. It would join current bans on other single-use plastics like shopping bags and takeaway containers.
To be clear, this wouldn't be a ban on the entire category of printer cartridges. Specifically, the city is looking at ink cartridges that can't be recycled through reuse, remanufacturing, or in take-back programs. Effectively, they are designed to be thrown away once empty.
