Many original HP toner and ink cartridges are assessed for compliance with the German Blue Angel environmental label for printers and multifunctional devices as part of the entire printing system. Original HP cartridges for Blue Angel certified HP printing systems fulfil several cartridge criteria including e.g. emissions performance, design for recycling, and used substances requirements.

Note that the Blue Angel for the product category printers and multifunctional devices covers the most comprehensive environmental requirements. The Blue Angel for remanufactured toner cartridges does not cover the entire printing system and omits a number of important criteria for this whole printing system’s environmental and safety performance. There is no Blue Angel for remanufactured ink cartridges available.
