Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Protecting the Environment
Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the
design and production processes of HP DeskJet
and DeskWriter printers to minimize the negative
impact on the office environment and on the
communities where the printers are manufactured,
shipped, and used. Hewlett-Packard has also
developed processes to minimize the negative
impact of the disposal of the printers at the end of
printing life.
Reduction and Elimination
Printer Packaging: Packaging materials, cushions,
accessories, and boxes have been reduced, saving
roughly 50% in fuel and, therefore, fuel
emissions. Boxes used to ship printers from the
distribution centers are whitened without
using chlorine.
Ozone: All ozone-depleting chemicals (CFCs, for
example) have been eliminated from Hewlett-
Packard manufacturing processes.
Recycling
Printer Packaging: The boxes used to ship
printers from the distribution centers, the
expanded polystyrene packaging inserts, and the
clear polyethylene bags containing the printer
drivers are 100% recyclable.
Plastic Parts: Major manufactured plastic parts
are marked as to the plastic content to facilitate
product recycling.
Manuals: The manuals in this kit are printed on
recycled paper.
Reduction and Reuse
Ink Packaging: The packaging for the ink
cartridges was significantly reduced and
made recyclable.
Energy Consumption
HP DeskJet and DeskWriter printers use only 4.5
watts in stand-by mode, which easily qualifies them
as energy-saving computer printers under the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star
Computers program. The EPA estimates that if all
desktop PCs and peripherals in the U.S. were to
qualify, the overall savings in electricity could
amount to over $1 billion each year. It could also
prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon
dioxide per year (the equivalent output of 5
million cars).
The Energy Star emblem does not represent EPA
endorsement of any product or service.
