Responsible waste management is a key part of reducing our environmental impacts. We work to minimize waste in our operations, following a global policy of “reduce, reuse, and recycle,” and we collaborate to support strong practices throughout our supplier base.

HP generated 24,100 tonnes of nonhazardous waste in 2023¹, 28% more than in 2022, due primarily to the addition of Poly sites. We recovered 500 tonnes of used electronic equipment from HP operations. During the year, we achieved an 87.4% landfill diversion rate globally.

We generated 6,380 tonnes of hazardous waste in 2023.The main source of hazardous waste we generate is liquid and debris from ink-manufacturing facilities. These manufacturing sites prioritize waste management options with low environmental impacts and only use disposal as a last resort. Although ink manufacturing is a source of hazardous waste, Original HP Ink Cartridges used by customers and in our offices can be recycled and are considered nonhazardous in many of our major markets.

¹ HP directly tracks nonhazardous waste data for the company’s highest energy–consuming sites globally (16,000 tonnes in 2023), which account for 67% of HP’s operational waste. These sites provide a representative sample of the main types of facilities in our portfolio from across the regions where we operate.
