hp inkjet product recovery program
Customers interested in recycling their genuine HP inkjet cartridges can
participate in HP's empty inkjet cartridge return and recycle program. HP
offers this program in the United States, Puerto Rico, France, Germany, and
Singapore, more countries than any other inkjet manufacturer in the world.
This program is provided as a free service to HP customers as an
environmentally sound solution for these products at end-of-life.
To participate, simply request a postage-paid return envelopes or bulk boxes
via the web at
www.hp.com/go/recycle or by calling 1-888-447-0145 (in
the U.S. only). Customers will be asked for their name, phone number,
address, and how many bulk boxes or envelopes they would like. Postage-
paid envelopes and/or bulk boxes will be shipped within two days.
Because HP's unique recycling processes are very sensitive to material
contamination, we cannot take back and recycle cartridges from other
manufacturers. The end products of the recycling process are used in the
manufacture of new products, and HP must ensure the composition of the
material is consistent. To do that, we recycle only HP original cartridges.
Returned cartridges are separated for purification into raw materials for use
in other industries to manufacture new products. Examples of products made
from recycled hp inkjet cartridge materials include automobile parts, trays
used in microchip fabrication processes, copper wire, steel plates and the
precious metals used in electronics. Depending on the model, HP is able to
recycle up to 65% of the print cartridge by weight. The remaining parts that
cannot be recycled (ink, foam & composite parts) are disposed of in an
environmentally responsible manner.
