and packaging waste than
comparable laser printers
• Reduces carbon footprint of
printing up to 55% per printer
• Uses up to 84% less energy
while printing and up to 25%
less power overall1 than lasers
in its class

directly into “closed loop” recycling
program
• Customers can choose from different
monthly service plans based on pages
printed
• Enables customers to save up to 50% on
ink
HP “closed loop” recycling program
Reverse cycle solution featuring cross-industry collaboration and upcycling

• Manufacturing new ink cartridges

using returned cartridges and other
plastics contributes to circular
economy
• In five years, HP has helped divert
on average more than 1 million
water bottles per day

produced using over 3 billion bottles
and 40 million hangers
• Recycled plastic has up to a 33%
smaller footprint than virgin plastic
• Enables HP to reduce fossil fuel
consumption by 54% and water
consumption by 75%
“Closed loop” recycled plastic progression

implemented in 2005
• Recycled polypropylene (rPP)
– Three year development;
implemented in 2013 Wave 2: rPP

• Recycled high impact

polypropylene (r2P2)
– Less than 12 months
development; implementation Wave 3: r2P2
