June 2, 2008—Hewlett-Packard (HP) has unveiled a broad effort to help make it easy for all their customers to reduce the environmental impact of their imaging and printing. The wide-ranging initiative includes elements such as:
- an enterprise printing assessment service and a carbon calculator that together comprehensively address energy and paper use, related carbon emissions and projected cost savings for optimized printing environments
- a global paper policy governing the sustainable manufacture and use of paper HP sells to customers and uses for packaging, collateral and its own office printing
- a new HP inkjet printer made almost entirely from recycled materials
- an HP Eco Highlights label that will help customers identify environmental attributes of a given HP product or service
Many of the announcements are part of the new HP Eco Solutions program, which helps customers identify HP initiatives, products, and services designed with the environment in mind. HP also made pledges to further its commitment to environmental responsibility in the area of imaging and printing.
