HP designs products to minimize their impact on the environment by reducing or eliminating hazardous materials, using fewer resources, reducing energy consumption and designing for recyclability. This section describes the actions taken for each product family.
LaserJet printers
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Plastics in the case parts have no halogenated flame retardants
- No use of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) except for cables
- No use of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) also known as polybrominated biphenyl oxides (PBDOs)
- No use of ozone depleting substances in product manufacturing

- Manuals are printed onelementary chlorine free (EFC) bleached virgin or recycled paper or put on CD-ROM to minimize paper use
- Econo-Mode option on LaserJet printers can be used for draft quality printing and saves toner. A user can gain up to 30% more pages printed per toner cartridge by using Econo-Mode.
- Duplex option allows printing on both sides of the paper which can save paper
- N-up printing capability (multiple pages printed on 1 page) can reduce paper use
- HP printers are suited for the use of recycled paper qualified according to EN 12281:2002

|
- Most LaserJet models are ENERGY STAR® qualified
- Instant -On Fusing reduces preheating times which saves energy
- Sleep mode is an automatic feature found on some models that allows an unused printer to consume less energy
- New low-melt toner reduces the amount of energy used to print

|
- A design objective for LaserJet printer systems operating under expected high-use conditions is to ensure volatile organic compound, ozone and particle airborne emissions are well within generally-accepted indoor air quality guidelines and significantly below occupational exposure limits.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Marking plastic parts weighing more than 25 grams according to ISO 11469 international standards for easier sorting
- Eliminating glues and adhesives from product construction where feasible
- Using common fasteners
- Including snap-in features

Inkjet printers
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Plastics greater than 25 grams have no halogenated flame retardants
- No use of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) except for cables
- No use of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) also known as polybrominated biphenyl oxides (PBDOs)
- No use of ozone depleting substances in product manufacturing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Automatic or manual duplex capability (printing on both sides of a page) reduces paper usage and the resulting demands on natural resources.
- HP printers are suited for the use of recycled paper qualified according to EN 12281:2002
- Manuals are printed on elementary chlorine free (EFC) bleached virgin or recycled paper or put on CD-ROM to minimize paper use.
- Econo-mode option on inkjet printers can be used for draft quality printing and saves ink.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Inkjet printers are designed to have ozone and volatile organic compounds (VOC's) emissions significantly below limits prescribed in standards for indoor air quality.
