The design of the printer facilitates the recycling of:

Plastics

Europe Only: Plastic parts have material identification markings, according

 

to international standards, which enhance the ability to identify plastics for

 

proper disposition at the end of the printer’s life. The plastics used in the

 

printer housing and chassis are technically recyclable.

 

All Other Countries: Plastic parts have material identification markings,

 

according to international standards, which enhance the ability to identify

 

plastics for proper disposition at the end of the printer’s life.

HP Toner

HP Cartridge Recycling Program Information

 

Since 1990, the HP LaserJet Toner Cartridge Recycling Program has

 

collected more than twelve million cartridges that otherwise would have

 

been discarded into landfills or similar facilities. This rapidly growing

 

program returns used cartridges to the manufacturing process, thus

 

conserving a variety of resources. Once a cartridge is returned through the

 

prepaid return program, it is disassembled. The reusable components and

 

the plastic housing are cleaned and inspected for quality conformance. After

 

passing strict inspection procedures, materials such as nuts, screws, and

 

clips are reclaimed and used to produce new cartridges. Remaining

 

materials, like the photoconductive drum, are melted down and used as raw

 

materials for a variety of other products. By the weight of the materials

 

returned, over 95% are recycled. All HP LaserJet toner cartridges are

 

shipped in recycled boxes with the entire box being recyclable through the

 

returns program. Styrofoam end caps, which were used to support HP

 

LaserJet toner cartridges during shipping, have been replaced with molded

 

end caps made from 100% post-consumer paper products. For more

 

information in the U.S., call (1) (800) LASERJET [(1) (800) 527-3753].

 

International customers can call their local HP Sales and Service Office for
