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/

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.
