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 395,200 tonnes through 2018. More than 80% of our ink cartridges and 100% of HP LaserJet toner cartridges are now manufactured with recycled content,1 and we have used over half a million pounds of ocean-bound plastic to make Original HP ink cartridges. Our product repair, reuse, and recycling programs help to ensure that products and materials are re-purposed, to keep materials at their highest value state for the longest possible time. These efforts are part of our wider ambitions to transform the business toward an ever more materials-efficient circular model.

Reinventing for a circular economy
A world without waste
The traditional linear “take, make, dispose” production model is no longer viable and a fundamental shift is needed toward a more circular and low-carbon model. Against a backdrop of rapid population growth, an expanding middle class, and increasingly scarce natural resources, companies that can grow without also increasing raw materials consumption will thrive in a resource-constrained future—and will be well placed to help customers do the same.
HP’s commitment to transforming our business model will redefine how we function as a business and how our customers work and live – through technology and solutions that enable entire industries to eliminate waste and drive efficient, circular value chains.
Our goals and progress
Goal |
Progress through 2018 |
|---|---|
| Recycle 1.2 million tonnes of hardware and supplies by 2025, since the beginning of 2016. | Reached 395,200 tonnes recycled. |
Advancing circular solutions
HP promotes public policies, cross-industry initiatives, and sustainable product standards that support progress toward a more circular and low-carbon model. In 2018, for example, we endorsed the European Strategy for Plastics
At the 2018 World Economic Forum in Davos, we joined the Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE)
In 2020, HP reached a milestone on our journey by announcing that we have the world’s most sustainable PC portfolio, based on the criteria set out by EPEAT
HP is a member of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation global commitment to address plastic waste at its source
We build durable products that are easier than ever to repair and upgrade, which extends their useful lives while reducing costs. We score highly with iFixit, including a 10/10 iFixit repairability score
Tackling waste and supporting more circular supply chains
Combating ocean-bound plastic pollution and improving lives. HP launched an ambitious program in Haiti in 2016 to help tackle the growing challenge of ocean-bound plastics and improve conditions and opportunities for the people who collect the materials. Together with the First Mile Coalition and our supplier partners, we have now built a fully functioning ocean-bound plastics supply chain that has collected millions of plastic bottles for upcycling into HP supplies and hardware products. Watch video. Find out how HP is helping to reduce ocean plastic pollution and increase the use of recycled content in our products here.
Improving resource efficiency and creating social impact. In 2017, we began buying plastic material for our closed loop feed stream for new printers from Homeboy Industries, who provide certified electronics recycling combined with a social mission to support people facing severe barriers to work. Watch video.
Using recycled content to make ink cartridges. We use plastic from recycled Original HP cartridges (plus recycled bottles and hangers for ink cartridges) to create new Original HP cartridges.
Making it easier for customers to recycle. Our robust product repair, reuse, and recycling programs help ensure that products and materials are re-purposed. In the U.S., for example, customers can drop off hardware at Best Buy stores through our closed loop recycling program as well as Staples locations.
Circular economy in practice
HP’s commitment to transforming our business model spans everything from how we source to how we design, deliver, recover, repair, and reuse our products and solutions.
Transforming industries with 3D printing
HP Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology has the potential to revolutionize and transform manufacturing, industries, and supply chains with on-demand, more localized production. There is enormous potential for the circular economy through expanding product life, reducing waste, and avoiding the impacts associated with transportation and inventory of raw materials and finished goods.
HP ENVY printers: made with closed-loop recycled plastic
In 2017, our HP ENVY Photo All-in-One Printer series became the world’s first in-class printer made from recycled printers and other electronics—more than 10% by weight.1 Since then, we have increased the recycled content plastic in some HP ENVY models, to between 20% and 30% by weight.
HP EliteOne: our most serviceable All-in-One PC
Following HP’s EliteOne 1000 G1 in 2017—our most serviceable AiO2—the HP EliteOne 1000 G2 Base Desktop PC is our first desktop with an upgradeable PC base and display. This enables customers to upgrade and reconfigure flexibly by keeping their display from the G1 series.
HP Indigo: lowering customers’ costs and environmental impacts for commercial printing
Also, around 80% of newly reconditioned press from our HP Indigo Reconditioning program is made using parts harvested from disassembled press (in weight).
Extending product life and supporting innovation with service-based solutions
Solutions such as HP Device as a Service (DaaS), HP Managed Print Services, and HP Instant Ink provide customers with access to the latest technologies, enabling them to scale as business needs evolve while supporting environmental sustainability. Earlier this year, we launched HP Device Recovery Services which enable customers to simply, securely and sustainably repurpose their end of use devices. Through these activities, we are keeping our products within the economy for longer, and make progress toward a circular business model.
