HP Planet Partners Program

HP's industry-leading recycling program, HP Planet Partners, allows you to easily recycle your Original HP ink and LaserJet cartridges for free. Since 2000, over 218 million pounds (99 million kilograms) of recycled plastic have been used in manufacturing new Original HP ink and toner cartridges, keeping 5,450 tractor-trailer loads of plastic from going to landfills. What's more, many of those materials get put to use again. HP's multi-phase "closed loop" recycling process uses cartridges returned through HP Planet Partners as raw material to produce new Original HP ink and LaserJet cartridges.

By offering several convenient return options, HP makes it easier than ever to recycle HP supplies. Simply drop off cartridges at any HP Authorized Retail Collection Location across the U.S. or print out a free postage-paid shipping label online. All Original HP LaserJet cartridges are packaged with a postage-paid return label for your convenience. You can also order other shipping supplies online for free, including a bulk box and pallet pick-up for large quantities.

Your participation makes this program a success. Whether you return one cartridge or 500, you're making a difference.
