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; on the communities where they are manufactured, shipped, and used; and of the disposal at the end of printing life. Elimination Ozone: All ozone-depleting chemicals (CFCs, for example) have been eliminated from Hewlett-Packard manufacturing processes. Printer Packaging: Boxes for shipping individual printers from the factory to the distribution centers have been eliminated, saving roughly 50% in fuel and, therefore, fuel emissions. Boxes used to ship printers from the distribution centers are whitened without using chlorine. 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. Reduction and Reuse Ink Packaging: The print cartridge capability for color was significantly increased and the packaging for the ink cartridges was reduced. 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.
