Program
HP Planet Partners Return and Recycling Program enables simple, convenient return and recycling of
Original HP ink and LaserJet 1 supplies and any brand of computer hardware. We help ensure that your
returned products are recycled properly, processing them to recover valuable plastics and metals for new
products and diverting millions of tons of waste from landfills.
HP Inkjet and LaserJet supplies recycling
It’s easy and free. When your HP ink or LaserJet toner cartridge is empty, return it for recycling by going
to www.hp.com/recycle for free return and recycling options or by using the pre-addressed, postagepaid
label found in all HP LaserJet print cartridge boxes.
The recycling process
What happens when you return an Original HP print cartridge or any brand of computing hardware for
recycling? Our state-of-the-art recycling facilities process each return through a multi-phase recycling
process. No HP print cartridges returned and recycled through HP Planet Partners are sent to landfill.
Products are sorted and shredded, then separated into plastics and metals which can then be used to
make new metal and plastic products, such as HP cartridges and other everyday products. Any remaining
material is disposed of or handled responsibly through energy recovery.
For more information about the HP Planet Partners Program, please go to www.hp.com/recycle or
call 1-800-340-2445 Monday through Saturday 6 am–9 pm and Sunday 7 am–5 pm mountain
