Environmental
Statement
Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the
design processes of HP DeskJet printers to
minimize the negative impact on the office
environment and on the communities where
printers are manufactured, shipped, and
used. Hewlett-Packard has also developed
processes to minimize the negative impact of
the disposal of the printer at the end of
printing life.
Reduction and Elimination
Paper Use : The printer’s automatic/manual
two-sided printing capability reduces paper
usage and the resulting demands on natural
resources. This printer is suited for the use of
recycled papers according to DIN 19 309.
Ozone : Ozone-depleting chemicals such as
CFCs have been eliminated from Hewlett-
Packard manufacturing processes.
Recycling
Design for recycling has been incorporated
into this printer. The number of materials has
been kept to a minimum while ensuring
proper functionality and reliability.
Dissimilar materials have been designed to
separate easily. Fasteners and other
connections are easy to locate, access, and
remove using common tools. High priority
parts have been designed to access quickly
for efficient disassembly and repair. Plastic
parts have been primarily designed in no
more than two colors to enhance recycling
options. A few small parts are colored
specifically to highlight customer access
points.
Printer Packaging : The packaging
materials for this printer have been selected
to provide maximum protection for the least
cost possible, while attempting to minimize
environmental impact and facilitate
recycling. The rugged design of the HP
DeskJet printer assists in minimizing both
packaging materials and damage rates.
Plastic parts : All major plastics and plastic
parts are marked according to international
standards. All plastic parts used in the printer
housing and chassis are technically
recyclable and all use a single polymer.
