With Earth Day on April 22 just around the corner, the theme Planet vs. Plastics sparks an important conversation about how plastics extend beyond an imminent environmental issue; it presents a threat to human health that is as alarming as climate change.
As Canada’s most sustainable technology company, HP Canada has been at the forefront of driving a circular economy to reduce its environmental impact, with a key focus area on plastics. As both a supplier and user of recovered materials, listed below are just some of the ways the company is working towards achieving its goal of using 30% postconsumer recycled content plastic across HP’s personal systems and print product portfolio by 2025.
- In 2022, HP incorporated a massive 32,200 tonnes of post-consumer recycled content plastic in its consumer products (15% of all plastic it uses)
- Through the HP Planet Partners Program, HP has recycled more than 1 billion HP Ink and Toner cartridges to date. Through the process, HP ensures that the returned bottles and cartridges are properly recycled to be used for new materials.
- For over 18 years, HP Canada has partnered with Montreal’s Lavergne Group to develop an innovative process to make new HP cartridges from recycled plastic bottles and clothing hangers. Through this program, HP has kept 830 million HP cartridges, 101 million apparel hangers, and 4.7 billion post-consumer plastic bottles out of landfills by upcycling materials for continued use.
- Acquired Choose Packaging, a start-up that has created the world’s first commercially available zero-plastic paper bottle. Building on HP’s 3D printing-enables Molded Fiber solutions, this continues HP’s efforts to disrupt the $10B sustainable packaging industry and expand our Sustainable Impact agenda.
