HP EPEAT Required Statements

4.9.1.1 Required—Allow use of general office paper with renewable content, recycled content and content that is chlorine free
HP printers are designed to work with paper made with renewable, recycled and chlorine-free content qualified according to EN 1281:2002. Using these types of media will not void the HP warranty or service contract. However, while HP printers are designed to be flexible in the types of media they can accept, HP recommends using good-quality media. HP papers are designed to work with HP printers for optimal print quality. HP offers papers with recycled content, and these papers are manufactured using ECF (elemental chlorine-free) processes. HP is a member of Global Forest Trade Network, working with partners including the World Wildlife Fund, to address forest issues, support, and promote sustainable forest management. HP offers a selection of office paper, photo paper and specialty papers derived from certified and responsibly managed forests.

4.9.2.1 Required – Product does not prevent the use of non-OEM cartridges and non-OEM containers
HP printers are not designed to prohibit the use of refilled, remanufactured or other aftermarket non-HP cartridges and containers, and the use of refilled, remanufactured or other aftermarket non-HP cartridges and containers does not automatically invalidate the product's limited warranty. However, HP does not assume responsibility for product damages or failures attributable to refilled, remanufactured or other aftermarket non-HP cartridges and containers or to non-HP products or services.

4.9.4.1 Required—Cartridge or container not designed to prevent its reuse and recycling
HP does not prevent refilling or remanufacturing of its print cartridges. However, HP cartridges are designed to operate with HP inkjet and LaserJet printers as an integrated system to meet customers' needs for performance, quality and reliability. During third-party testing, Original HP cartridges performed more consistently than the aftermarket non-HP cartridges that were tested.¹ HP cartridges are designed to use fewer plastics and fewer components, making them easier to recycle. For example, HP has cut the average number of component parts used in monochrome HP LaserJet print cartridges by a third and the types of plastic used by more than half, which makes them easier to recycle.² When HP cartridges reach their end of life, customers can recycle them for free with HP Planet Partners—an industry-leading recycling program—available in more than 50 countries and territories around the world.³ The HP Planet Partners program converts recyclable material recovered from Original HP print cartridges into new products, including new HP cartridges. HP never refills, resells or sends print cartridges to a landfill.
