HP has expanded its recycling program, adding Office Depot to the list of retailers offering HP ink recycling, and says its Everyday Paper line in North America is now Forest Stewardship Council certified.
This North American certification complements HP's existing portfolio of FSC-certified products in Latin America.
The company says more than 40 percent of its total tonnage worldwide is now FSC certified and/or contains at least 30 percent post-consumer waste. HP's goal is that by the end of 2015, 50 percent or more of HP-branded papers will be FSC certified or contain at least 30 percent post-consumer waste.
HP has also expanded its take-back and recycling program to help Canada Mobile Database print customers reduce their environmental impact, the company said.
The HP Planet Partners program allows customers to recycle used Original HP print cartridges in 56 countries and territories. Office Depot, in its first year supporting HP Planet Partner efforts, will offer HP ink recycling at more than 1,100 stores across the United States.
By partnering with retailers such as Office Depot, Office Max, Staples and Walmart, HP is expanding its cartridge collection network, which is expected to include more than 9,000 retail locations worldwide. Staples has supported HP's hardware recycling efforts for more than five years, and in 2012 expanded its efforts to include free hardware recycling throughout North America. Together, HP and Staples collected more than 40 million pounds of ink, toner cartridges and recycling equipment.
To date, HP customers around the world have recycled more than half a billion HP ink cartridges and LaserJet toner cartridges with the help of HP Planet Partners, the company says. Through these and other efforts, HP plans to recycle 3.5 billion pounds of electronic products and supplies by the end of 2015.
HP's closed-loop plastic recycling process uses plastic from recycled Original HP toner and ink cartridges, as well as other post-consumer sources, to create new cartridges. To date, HP has used more than 118 million pounds of recycled content, keeping 280 million cartridges and 2 billion used plastic bottles out of landfills, the company says.
Additionally, HP says that compared to new (or virgin) plastic, recycled plastic used in its cartridges manufactured in 2010 and later has an approximately 33 percent lower carbon footprint than virgin plastic in original cartridges, even taking into account accounting for impacts associated with the collection, transportation and recycling of used cartridges and plastic bottles. HP estimates that this plastic reduces total water consumption by up to 89 percent.
