Green fundraising with empty genuine original HP45 shells

By Shenzhen Mufeng Technology Limited Company · Published Nov 13, 2026

A school, charity or community group can collect empty genuine original HP45 / 51645A shells and send them to MufengTech’s Hong Kong base under the published Green Fundraising Program. This page is the program-term guide for organisation coordinators. It is not a rewrite of the shorter collection-tips article cartridge collection fundraising for schools and charities, which already points here for details. It is also not a rewrite of how to sell empty genuine HP45 shells internationally, bulk partners for empty genuine original HP45 shells, or inspection and payment after you ship empty genuine HP45 shells.

Shenzhen Mufeng Technology Limited Company, established in July 2012, is an independent recycler and remanufacturer. HP is a trademark of HP Inc. MufengTech is not affiliated with HP Inc. and this program is not an HP recycling program. HP45 and 51645A identify the cartridge model only.

Who the program is for, and what it is not

The green-program page is written for a school, charity or community group that wants to turn qualifying empty shells into funds for the organisation and keep usable cartridges in use. Register the organisation name and country first. This is a buyback path for empty genuine original shells, not a way to order New or Remanufactured finished cartridges, and not a substitute for the 1,000-unit bulk-partner pickup arrangement.

The published Charity Recycling Program Terms say that a portion of the proceeds from recycled cartridges is donated to charity. That is the published wording. Do not invent a percentage, a named beneficiary or a guaranteed fundraising total.

Three published steps

The green-program page lists three steps:

Register. Tell MufengTech the organisation name and country on WhatsApp or email.
Collect. Place a collection box and ask people for empty genuine original HP45 cartridges only.
Ship and receive funds. Ship to the Hong Kong base; accepted cartridges are paid to the organisation.

Details for each organisation are confirmed via WhatsApp. For practical collection-box tips, use the existing fundraising blog. For packing, quoting and the receiving address, use how to ship together with the recycling terms.

Only genuine original HP45 / 51645A shells

The program accepts genuine original HP45 (51645A) cartridges only. Non-original, compatible, remanufactured or previously refilled cartridges are not accepted. The same rule is printed on the recycling terms and on the FAQ. Pre-sort before you ship. For how to check a shell, use how to identify a genuine original HP45 empty; this page does not repeat that checklist.

Items that are not accepted, or that are sent in error, receive no payment and cannot be returned. The terms say they are sent for responsible material recycling. That is why photos and a quote should come before the carton is dispatched.

Quotes, inspection and payment

Send the expected quantity and photos, then wait for a grade-based quote. Indicative prices are given per grade via WhatsApp and are valid for one month from the date of issue. The final price is confirmed after inspection. MufengTech does not publish fixed prices, and volume (tiered) pricing is not published. Do not scrape or republish a price list.

Every shell is inspected at the Hong Kong base and graded A, B or C against the published grading rules. You receive the count per grade and the number of rejected items with the reason. Payment is made after inspection and after you confirm that written result. The payment or escrow method is agreed by mutual negotiation. For the inspection-and-payment sequence itself, use the inspection and payment guide.

The Hong Kong receiving address is provided after the quantity is confirmed. Shipping cost is agreed by mutual negotiation. Risk of loss in transit stays with the sender until delivery. After the carton is in transit, send the tracking number. Do not ship loose ink, toner, other models or waste, and do not ship to an old or guessed address.

Do not mix these three numbers

The program terms also mention finished-cartridge sales: new cartridges are sourced from HP45 cartridge manufacturers, then tested, sealed and sold, and the minimum order quantity for new cartridges is 10 units. That MOQ of 10 applies to New or Remanufactured cartridge sales. It is not a minimum collection size for a fundraising shipment. The FAQ says small quantities are welcome for a quote.

Bulk pickup at 1,000 units or more is a separate buyback logistics option for regular large quantities, described on the bulk partners page. Do not tell a school that it must reach 1,000 units to join the green program, and do not tell a buyer that the sales MOQ is 1,000.

Accepted shells that are suitable for remanufacturing follow the published Hong Kong process on the remanufacturing page. This fundraising guide does not repeat those six steps, and it does not change the genuine-original-only intake rule.

Send a green-program registration to MufengTech

Email frank@szmufeng.com or WhatsApp +86 158 1405 1051 with the organisation name and country, the expected quantity, and a photo sample of the shells you plan to collect. Ask for the program details in writing, a quote reference, and — once the quantity is confirmed — the Hong Kong receiving address. Do not publish prices, donation percentages or a guaranteed payout.

FAQ: Green fundraising with empty genuine original HP45 shells

Can a school or charity ship compatible or remanufactured empties under this program?

No. The green-program page and the recycling terms accept genuine original HP45 / 51645A shells only. Compatible, remanufactured or previously refilled shells are not accepted, receive no payment and cannot be returned.

Is the 10-unit sales MOQ the minimum I must collect?

No. The MOQ of 10 units applies to New or Remanufactured cartridge sales. Small fundraising quantities are welcome for a quote. The 1,000-unit figure is a bulk-pickup threshold, not a program entry minimum.

Is the pre-shipment quote the amount the organisation will be paid?

No. Indicative prices are given per grade and are valid for one month from the date of issue. The final price is confirmed after inspection, once you have the count per grade and the rejected-item reasons. A portion of the proceeds is donated to charity, as the terms state; no percentage is published.

Where do I find collection-box tips versus packing and payment rules?

Use the fundraising tips blog for how to run a collection point. Use how to ship, the recycling terms, and the inspection and payment guide for packing, the Hong Kong address, inspection and payment.
