Many companies provide a service for recycling toner cartridges and inkjet cartridges. The number of toner cartridges and inkjet cartridges used every year is astronomical so there is a need for them to be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.

Companies, like HP and Lexmark, provide a service for disposing of toner cartridges and inkjet cartridges. It is advisable to keep the original packaging that the toner cartridge or inkjet cartridge comes in. There will also be a packaging label included with the toner cartridge so that you can easily return the product.

Depending on the company, it will evaluate the toner cartridge suitability for reuse. In some cases, if the product meets minimum criteria it will be donated to a charitable organisation. If the toner cartridge does not meet the minimum criteria it will be recycled through a process that will not have an adverse effect on the environment.

For inkjet cartridges, depending on the model, HP recycles up to 70% of the print cartridge by weight. Returned cartridges are shredded and materials are separated into plastics, metals and other components (ink, foam and composite parts.) Plastics and metals are further refined and used to make raw materials, auto parts, and HP products. The remaining materials are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
