Recycling: Adding Direct Take-Back to the mix
HP is heavily involved in recycling of electronic equipment – we have a comprehensive set of recycling initiatives in place around the world that underpin the way we manage our products throughout their life-cycle.
In February, we announced that we have just recycled 110 million kilograms of products in 2007 worldwide – that’s 50 percent more than in 2006 and a new record for us. |

When CSR means good business - how to help suppliers adapt an integrated approach to CSR
How can a small or medium sized business achieve the highest environmental and social standards in the workplace? And what can the world’s largest MNCs do to help? These are questions HP tried to answer in a year-long study. We spoke to Mette Andersen, Special Advisor to the Danish Centre for CSR. She is the co-author of our recently released report titled “Small suppliers in global supply chains. Partnerships for sustainable competitiveness “ The report is based on an exhaustive study of HP’s small and medium company suppliers based in the Czech republic, Hungary and Poland.

A model for recycling: HP launches new Cape Town plant to create jobs and cut pollution
What if you could transform a broken electronic device into new electronics, a toy or even a work of art? And help the environment and create jobs at the same?
Since the beginning of the year, the new HP sponsored recycling plant for electronic waste (‘e-waste’) in Cape Town, South Africa, as well as similar projects in Morocco and Kenya, aim to establish a model that the rest of the continent could use as a blueprint for recycling e-waste.
