The HP Planet Partners printing supplies return and recycling program provides a free, responsible way
to return your empty HP inkjet and LaserJet print cartridges for recycling. Postage-paid, pre-addressed
labels or envelopes are included within the boxes of most HP printing supplies for easy return and recycling. Labels
and bulk boxes can also be ordered through this Web site.
The HP Planet Partner return and recycling program for HP printing supplies has been operating since 1991 and today
extends to customers in more than 45 countries, regions and territories. In 2006, more than 30 million HP inkjet and
LaserJet print cartridges were returned worldwide for recycling through the HP Planet Partners program (more than 2.5 million per month),
representing a weight of almost 32 million pounds. Since the program began, more than 112 million HP LaserJet and HP inkjet print
cartridge materials had been returned and recycled worldwide, representing a weight greater than 229 million lbs.
What do we do with items returned for recycling? Returned supplies are sorted and shredded. Plastics and metals from recycled HP
print cartridges have been used to make a range of everyday new products such as auto body parts, clothes hangers, fence posts,
microchip processing trays, roof tiles, serving trays, shoe soles, and spools. No HP print cartridges returned through the Planet
Partners program are sent to landfill.
