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.
