Empty Instant Ink Cartridges

[AndrineS]

Do empty Instant Ink cartridges have to be returned to HP or can they be recycled at Staples or Office Depot?

@AndrineS, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

Yes. HP Instant Ink cartridges are the property of HP and must be returned when empty, or when your service is canceled.

Postage-paid cartridge recycling envelopes are included with most HP Instant Ink shipments*. To maximize environmental benefits, wait until you have three to eight empty cartridges, fill the envelope, and then send them back together.

If you do not have a postage-paid recycling envelope, either wait for the next ink shipment or order an extra envelope from your Instant Ink account page.

*Cartridge recycling is not available in Italy or Portugal. Follow local regulations to dispose of cartridges responsibly.

   NOTE: If you have standard, non-HP Instant Ink cartridges you want to recycle, go to Product return and recycling (in English).

1. Sign in to hpinstantink.com/signin.

   Your HP Instant Ink account page opens.

2. On your HP Instant Ink account page, click Order a Cartridge Recycling Envelope in the Help Center area.

   

3. Review your order, and then click Submit.
