A consumable for a recording apparatus, the consumable configured to be detachably attached to a main body of the recording apparatus and comprising a consumable memory configured to communicate with the recording apparatus and a controller configured to control reading and writing of information with respect to the consumable memory, wherein the consumable memory has: a first storage area in which recycling history information of the consumable is stored, the recycling history information including a first information part representing whether the consumable is a recycled product with a recycling history or a brand-new product without the recycling history, and a second information part representing whether the consumable is an initialized recycled product with an initialization history of use amount information of a consumable material included in the consumable or an uninitialized recycled product without the initialization history, in a case where the consumable is the recycled product, wherein the amount of remaining consumable material or remaining life time or the amount of used consumable material or time used is referred to as "use amount" and the information representing the "use amount" is referred to as "use amount information" and wherein "initialization" means that an initial value of the use amount information is written as an amount of consumable material or lifetime that can be used again as a recycled product; a second storage area in which the use amount information is stored; and any one storage area of a third storage area in which capacity information of the consumable is stored and a fourth storage area in which a use amount initial value of the consumable in a recycling completion state is stored, and wherein the controller is configured to perform use amount information writing processing of writing a predetermined use amount initial value to the second storage area, in response to receiving a command transmitted from the recording apparatus. wherein the consumable memory has: a first storage area in which recycling history information of the consumable is stored, the recycling history information including a first information part representing whether the consumable is a recycled product with a recycling history or a brand-new product without the recycling history, and a second information part representing whether the consumable is an initialized recycled product with an initialization history of use amount information of a consumable material included in the consumable or an uninitialized recycled product without the initialization history, in a case where the consumable is the recycled product, wherein the amount of remaining consumable material or remaining life time or the amount of used consumable material or time used is referred to as "use amount" and the information representing the "use amount" is referred to as "use amount information" and wherein "initialization" means that an initial value of the use amount information is written as an amount of consumable material or lifetime that can be used again as a recycled product; a second storage area in which the use amount information is stored; and any one storage area of a third storage area in which capacity information of the consumable is stored and a fourth storage area in which a use amount initial value of the consumable in a recycling completion state is stored, and a first storage area in which recycling history information of the consumable is stored, the recycling history information including a first information part representing whether the consumable is a recycled product with a recycling history or a brand-new product without the recycling history, and a second information part representing whether the consumable is an initialized recycled product with an initialization history of use amount information of a consumable material included in the consumable or an uninitialized recycled product without the initialization history, in a case where the consumable is the recycled product, wherein the amount of remaining consumable material or remaining life time or the amount of used consumable material or time used is referred to as "use amount" and the information representing the "use amount" is referred to as "use amount information" and wherein "initialization" means that an initial value of the use amount information is written as an amount of consumable material or lifetime that can be used again as a recycled product; a second storage area in which the use amount information is stored; and any one storage area of a third storage area in which capacity information of the consumable is stored and a fourth storage area in which a use amount initial value of the consumable in a recycling completion state is stored, and wherein the controller is configured to perform use amount information writing processing of writing a predetermined use amount initial value to the second storage area, in response to receiving a command transmitted from the recording apparatus.
