Ink Cartridges

HP now operate the industry’s first and only closed loop recycling scheme for all their used HP ink cartridges. With the HP Planet Partners initiative both business and home users alike can send their empty cartridges back to HP for zero landfill recycling, the scheme is widely available in 50 countries around the world.
