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.

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).

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.
