HP Planet Partners is HP’s official recycling program for Original HP ink and toner cartridges. In the United States, it gives businesses and individuals a straightforward way to send used HP cartridges back to HP at no cost.

The program is designed to:

• Keep cartridges out of landfills by collecting and processing them responsibly.
• Support a circular economy by turning recovered materials into new products instead of relying only on virgin resources.

You simply collect your used Original HP cartridges, pack them using HP’s provided materials, and ship them back using prepaid labels. HP then manages the recycling process so the materials can be reused.

Getting started with HP Planet Partners in the U.S. is straightforward and free:

1. Gather your used Original HP cartridges
   Set up a central collection point in your office or workspace so everyone knows where to drop empty cartridges.
2. Order free HP mailers and return boxes
   Go to HP’s official recycling portal and request free mailers and return boxes. HP covers the cost of the packaging and the return shipping.
3. Pack and ship
   Place your used Original HP ink and toner cartridges in the HP-provided boxes or mailers, attach the prepaid shipping label, and drop them off with the designated carrier.

There is no charge for participating in the program, which makes it easier to build cartridge recycling into your regular office workflow.

Using HP Planet Partners helps your organization align everyday printing with sustainability goals while keeping processes simple.

Key benefits include:

• No added cost: The program provides free mailers, return boxes, and prepaid shipping, so there’s no budget barrier to participating.
• Reduced landfill waste: Sending cartridges back through HP Planet Partners keeps used ink and toner cartridges out of landfills, which supports your waste-reduction and ESG reporting efforts.
• Support for a circular economy: Returned cartridges are processed so that materials can be reused, helping to reimagine how printing supplies are made and disposed of. This shift from “use and discard” to “use and reuse” is a practical way to make printing more sustainable.

By integrating HP Planet Partners into your standard supplies workflow, you turn something you already do—replacing cartridges—into a consistent, trackable sustainability action.
