REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE Protecting the Environment Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the design and production processes of HP DeskJet printer 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. Energy Consumption The HP DeskJet printer uses only 4.5 watts in stand-by mode, which easily qualifies it as an energy-saving computer printer 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). Reduction and Elimination Printer Packaging: Packaging materials, cushions, accessories and boxes have been reduced, saving roughly 50% in fuel and, therefore, fuel emissions. 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. Print Cartridges: Hewlett-Packard is conducting several pilot programs to take back print cartridges for material reclamation and environmentally-sound disposal. Call your Hewlett-Packard representative for current status. Printers: Hewlett-Packard accepts used and obsolete printers for component recycling. Call your Hewlett-Packard sales office for instructions. Manuals: The manuals in this kit are printed on recycled paper.

Protecting the Environment
Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the design and
production processes of HP DeskJet printer 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.
Ozone:
All ozone-depleting chemicals (CFCs, for exam-
ple) have been eliminated from Hewlett-Packard manufac-
turing processes.
Recycling
Printer Packaging:
The boxes used to ship printers from
the distribution centers, the expanded polystyrene packag-
ing 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.
Print Cartridges:
Hewlett-Packard is conducting several
pilot programs to take back print cartridges for material
reclamation and environmentally-sound disposal. Call
your Hewlett-Packard representative for current status.
Printers:
Hewlett-Packard accepts used and obsolete
printers for component recycling. Call your Hewlett-Pack-
ard sales office for instructions.
Manuals:
The manuals in this kit are printed on recycled
paper.
Energy Consumption
The HP DeskJet printer uses only 4.5 watts in stand-by
mode, which easily qualifies it as an energy-saving
computer printer under the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Energy Star Computers program. The EPA esti-
mates 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).
