Plastic parts are used increasingly, plastic runners and rejected parts are also recycled. In the fabrication plant, they are reground, and these plastics were added to new batches of plastic. The percentage of reground plastic in a batch varied depends on the criticality of the part and the decision of the manufacturing engineers. A large volume of rubber dust was produced when platens were ground round. The dust was carefully controlled and placed in collection boxes. The cooled dust was taken in the collection boxes to landfills.
Machine exhaust was hooded to the outside. Minor quantities of other materials were disposed or recycled. Inked ribbons and cassettes containing Mylar ribbons were sometimes rejected and were also disposed in landfills.
Typewriters have a minor future in the Western World because computers have replaced them almost completely. Some businesses still need typewriters for limited uses, and many people find typewriters more convenient for single or small tasks.
Standard, electric, and electronic typewriters do have some future remaining in developing countries, and manufacturers in Asia and Europe supply this market. Rare use of typewriters today and their distinction as truly magnificent machines has made them popular and given them a respected future as collectibles. Antique dealers and other specialists buy and sell rare models on the Internet, and collectors exchange information using newsletters and web sites.

The electric typewriter modified this system only by inserting a motor that controlled the typebars, making each keystroke absolutely uniform, requiring only the strength taken to depress characters on the keyboard rather than to push the typebar.
The final electric typewriters used a system designed for the first electrics—they had a stationary platen and the type basket moved. The ball and daisy both moved using a series of tiny levers and tapes that eliminated the problems caused by crossed typebars.
Smudgy ribbons were replaced by cartridges containing Mylar-coated media similar to photo printers. The typewriter does that so that the daisy wheel and the ribbons are in the correct position. Load two sheets of paper into the typewriter.
This is to ensure that the platen of the typewriter won't be damaged. One paper will go next to the platen to protect it from damaging and the other one is on top for typing.
