Green Technology

HP is committed to using packaging materials effectively ... protecting its products while minimizing waste.  Here is some of how HP approaches Product Packaging. 

"Packaging provides essential protection during transit ... as well as ensuring that products arrive in working condition, we also strive to minimize the environmental impacts of packaging in a cost-effective manner."

"Material quantity and type, transport mode, and recyclability influence the environmental impact of HP packaging. Our ... engineers ... following these guidelines:"

• "Design to reduce packaging material use while protecting products."
• "Eliminate the use of restricted materials such as lead, chromium, mercury and cadmium in packaging."
• "Eliminate the use of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in packaging materials."
• "Design packaging components for ease of disassembly by the end-user."
• "Maximize the use of post-consumer recycled content in packaging materials."
• "Use readily recyclable packaging materials such as pulp, paper and corrugated materials."
• "Reduce packaging size and weight to improve transportation fuel efficiency."
