E-waste is one of the world’s fastest-growing solid waste streams. To help address this issue, we aim to help our customers recycle hardware and supplies easily.
We focus on waste management across our value chain. When reuse and refurbishment are not viable, we provide product and printing supply recycling programs to customers and engage closely with our suppliers to ensure responsible product and material disposal.
We provide take-back programs in 77 countries and territories worldwide1 to make it easy for customers to recycle their HP products at end of life.
Our specialized reuse and recycling vendors are required to follow specific processing techniques and comply fully with relevant regulations. We encourage our vendors to attain third-party certification (R2, e-Stewards, or WEEELABEX) in line with EPEAT® and HP Recycling Standards.
Since the beginning of 2016, we recycled 1.21 million tonnes of hardware and supplies.
The Hardware and Supplies Recycling Standards are available at https://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c06000309.
