Environment
Improving the environmental performance of
our customers, operations, and supply chain.
ENERGY STAR®1 and eco labels
For decades HP has been a leader in environmental responsibility and has advocated globally for policies and regulations that encourage sustainable and energy efficient approaches to technology. HP's leadership in reducing the environmental impact of its technology products has resulted in numerous qualifications that recognize our design and technological innovations. For example:
Qualifications
ENERGY STAR® is a voluntary energy efficiency program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Products that earn the ENERGY STAR certification prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines. The program has recently been adopted by Australia, the European Union, Japan and Korea.
HP believes the fastest and easiest way to reduce environmental impact and save money is to help customers make the most of the energy they use today. That is why HP is committed to developing energy-efficient technologies that promote sustainability and meet strict industry standards such as ENERGY STAR. For example, since 2010, HP has reduced energy consumption of our personal system portfolio by 25% on average2, our HP LaserJet printer portfolio by 56% on average3, and our HP inkjet printer portfolio by 20% on average4.
We offer hundreds of ENERGY STAR computing, printing, and imaging products that deliver superior energy efficiency without sacrificing features or performance—helping create a more sustainable future.

EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) is a procurement tool to help institutional purchasers in the public and private sectors evaluate, compare and select desktop computers, notebooks, monitors and printers based on their environmental attributes.
HP offers products and solutions designed to help customers reduce their environmental impact, and actively supports multi-stakeholder environmental programs such as EPEAT that can be used by customers to inform their purchasing decisions. In working to ensure EPEAT’s continued success, HP supports the following goals:
- Multi-stakeholder collaboration to maintain a system for defining and identifying products with higher environmental performance in order to encourage product leadership.
- Mechanisms that allow leadership in developing sustainable products to be recognized and rewarded by purchasers, including public sector purchasing preferences for products that meet standards developed through multi-stakeholder engagement (such as US federal purchasing requirements that support purchasing EPEAT-registered products).
- Requirements harmonized or mutually recognized globally with other regulations or standards for environmental or supply chain responsibility leadership.
- Alignment with international agreements such as the Basel Convention.
- Use of relevant third party certifications such as eStewards and R2 to ensure specific aspects of environmentally sound performance.
HP EPEAT Required Statements
4.7.2.1 Required – Public disclosure of key environmental aspects
View Chemical Management and releases (PDF 112 KB) collected from HP operations worldwide.
4.7.2.2 Optional—Public disclosure of supply chain toxics
View supply chain toxic release data (PDF 23.69 KB) collected from suppliers for one HP EPEAT registered product.
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.
4.9.3.1 Required—Provision of take-back and end-of-life management for cartridges and containers
In 2016, HP and our recyclers started recycling of toner material collected via our recycling programs in North America. HP and our recyclers ensure that the toner material which is sent to waste-to-energy is less than 25% of the total toner recovered. In 2017, HP will release the results of the recycling programs.
4.9.3.2 Optional—Manufacturer recycles or reuses all toner material collected through its cartridge and container take-back program
In 2016, HP started the recycling of toner material collected via our recycling programs in North America and Australia. The recycled toner will be used as colorant in the manufacture of consumer products and other uses. HP ensures that at least 75% of the toner material will be recycled. In 2017, HP will release further results of the recycling programs.
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.5 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.6 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.7 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.
