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 percent (%) 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) 340- 2445 or visit the HP LaserJet website at http://www.ljsupplies.com/ planetpartners. International customers can call the local HP Sales and Service Office for further information regarding the HP Toner Cartridge Recycling Program.

Printer and Parts—Design for recycling has been incorporated into this printer and its accessories. The number of materials has been kept to a minimum while ensuring proper functionality and high product reliability. Dissimilar materials have been designed to separate easily. Fasteners and other connections are easy to locate, access, and remove with common tools. High priority parts have been designed to be accessed quickly for efficient disassembly and repair. Plastic parts have been primarily designed in two colors to enhance recycling options. A few small parts are colored specifically to highlight customer access points.

HP provides a product return system for customers in Germany. Many of the functional parts are recovered, tested, and reused as fully-warranted service parts. Used parts are not placed into new product manufacturing. The remainder of the product parts are recycled, if possible. For product return information, call (49) (070) 3114-1936 or Fax (49) (070) 3114-4195.
