if by cartlage, you actually mean "CARTILAGE" as in the tissue in the human body,
then the answer to that is as a person grows, cartilage gradually disappears in long bones (meaning the bones of your arms and legs) because as a baby, your whole bone is actually cartilage, but bone forming cells called osteocytes begin to grow and form bone tissue and gradually it grows in the place of cartilage, so cartilage disappears in those areas. However, you still have different types of cartilage in different areas of your body that just remain there like you have hyaline cartilage in your ribs.
Hope that answer satisfies you !
