We are committed to helping our customers recycle responsibly. Our product recycling goal is to recycle 1.2 million tonnes of hardware and supplies by 2025 since the beginning of 2016, and we’ve recycled 271,400 tonnes through 2017. More than 80% of our ink cartridges and 100% of HP LaserJet toner cartridges are now manufactured with “closed loop” recycled plastic.1 Our remanufacturing programs give IT hardware, such as printers, personal systems and monitors, a new lease of life, reducing environmental impacts from disposal. We only recycle products that cannot be reused.

Reinventing for a circular economy
The shift to circular principles calls for radical change rather than incremental or gradual evolution.
Rising standards of living in many countries, combined with population growth, are increasing the demand for goods and services worldwide. This presents a business opportunity, while putting tremendous pressure on natural resources and the environment. The traditional, linear production model of “take, make, dispose” is no longer viable, and a fundamental shift is needed.
Scalable, transformative technologies, including our own 3D printing platform, and new types of collaboration, are critical to ensuring the Fourth Industrial Revolution is also a sustainability revolution. For more information, see our Sustainable Impact Report.
HP’s strategic priorities
Decoupling growth from consumption
Keeping products and materials in use at their highest state of value for the longest possible time.
Reducing the resources required to make and use products.
Ensuring the materials in products are properly repurposed at end of service.
Disrupting industry business models
Reinventing solution design and delivery, including shifting to service models.
Digitizing supply chains and production to reduce waste and costs.
Extending product lifespans, and increasing reuse and recycling.
Collaborating across industries and sectors
Building new circular supply chains.
Adopting leading standards for sustainable product design and delivery.
Promoting supportive public policies.
Educating customers on the benefits of a circular economy.
Circular economy in practice
Through innovative design, HP is transforming every part of our product and services portfolio, reducing environmental footprint, increasing social impact, and providing customers increased value.
HP ENVY printers: the world’s first in-class printers made with closed loop recycled plastic – more than 10% by weight
We are increasingly incorporating recycled plastic into our printers, with a focus on sourcing materials to create positive impacts for the environment and communities.1 In 2017, our HP ENVY Photo All-in-One Printer series became the world’s first in-class printer made with closed-loop recycled plastic—more than 10% by weight.
In 2017, we began buying recycled plastic from Homeboy Industries, which provides certified electronics recycling with a social mission. Homeboy offers opportunities to people who face severe barriers to work, including formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated men and women. By purchasing plastic material for our closed loop feed stream for new printers, we are creating social benefits while improving resource efficiency. Watch video.
HP original ink cartridges: Closed loop plastic and positive social impact
In 2016, we started sourcing some of the plastic bottles for our closed loop recycling process from Haiti to create new Original HP ink cartridges. Launched in collaboration with the First Mile Coalition, we are helping create jobs, improve conditions for workers, and bring dignity to the collectors of recyclables, at the same time as preventing plastics reaching the Caribbean Sea.
HP EliteOne: Our most serviceable All-in-One PC
HP’s EliteOne 1000 G1 is the first All-in-One with an upgradeable PC base and display, making it our most serviceable All-in-One.2 We score highly with iFixit, including a 10/10 for the EliteBook 800 G5 Business Notebook series
HP Indigo: Designed with sustainability in mind
HP Indigo digital presses enable efficient, on-demand printing, with lower costs and environmental impacts compared with analog presses. We design parts and supplies for reuse and recycling, and the cost-per-print business model is more resource-efficient. Our product-as-a-service offerings provide the latest technology for customers while reducing capital costs and increasing sustainability benefits. In early 2018, we signed the Capital Equipment Pledge
3D printing: Driving a sustainable 4th industrial revolution
3D printing technology, or additive manufacturing, will transform supply chains and manufacturing by providing on-demand, localized means of production. In our HP Latex printer, for example, we replaced an aluminum part with a redesigned 3D printed nylon part, resulting in a 93% decrease in weight, 95% reduction in GHG emissions and 50% lower cost. HP’s Multi-Jet Fusion technology prints up to 10 times faster than current competitors3 with greater accuracy, resiliency, and strength while reducing cost, energy consumption, and waste.
1. Compared to majority in-class color desktop inkjet all-in-ones <$199 USD. HP internal research survey of printer manufacturers’ published specifications, sustainability reports and press releases as of 8/1/2017 and Buyers Laboratory Inc. 2017 study commissioned by HP; keypointintelligence.com/products/samples/hp-envy/. Market share as reported by IDC CYQ1 2017 Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker. 7100 and 7800 all-in-one printers contain more than 10% closed-loop plastic from recycled printers and other electronics plastic by weight of the plastic.
2. Based on AiOs with self-serviceable hard drive, M.2 storage, webcam, and the ability to remove and service the display and PC individually as of September 1, 2017.
3. Based on internal testing and simulation, HP Jet Fusion 3D average printing time is up to 10 times faster than average printing time of comparable fused deposition modeling (FDM) and selective laser sintering (SLS) printer solutions from $100,000 USD to $300,000 USD on market as of April, 2016. Testing variables: Part quantity: 1.4 full build chamber of parts from HP Jet Fusion 3D at 20% of packing density on fast print mode vs same number of parts on above-mentioned competitive devices; Part size: 30 grams; Layer thickness: 0.08 mm/0.0031 inches.
