We are working to replace hard to recycle materials with more easily recycled substitutes. While all HP packaging materials are capable of being recycled, this is only possible where appropriate collection and recycling infrastructure is in place (For more information and to check service availability at your location, please visit www.hp.com/recycle). We, therefore, take ease of curbside recyclability into account when selecting packaging materials. The following provides guidance on where and how to recycle HP packaging.
