HP Green Supply Chain

Design
Conforming to DfE standards allows products to
meet regulatory and customer requirements.
Eco-labels demonstrate conformance with
international environmental expectations and green
procurement criteria.
Recycled content is used, where feasible.
Design for recyclability features facilitate
disassembly and recycling.

HP Green Supply Chain

Raw materials
Materials reduction and use of recycled materials
decrease virgin materials use.
Reduction in the number of different material types
used in a single product potentially adds value at end
of life.
Reduction in product size and weight uses fewer
resources.
Recycled materials are used in some new HP
products.
Substances restricted by GSE are reduced or
eliminated

HP Green Supply Chain

Manufacturing
Supplier Code of Conduct helps suppliers to address
key HP environmental requirements, including General
Specification for the Environment (GSE).
Design for recyclability features typically enable
easier product assembly.
Efficient operations reduce emissions and waste from
operations.
Global ISO 14001 certification of HP manufacturing
facilities helps in establishing effective environmental
management processes

HP Green Supply Chain

Distribution
Smaller, lighter products decrease greenhouse gas
emissions and transportation impacts and costs.
Improved packaging designs increase the number of
products per pallet and reduce packaging weight,
reducing product transport environmental burden.
Transportation by sea allows for more energyefficient shipments with lower environmental impact.
HP participates in several organizations that
promote industry wide reduction in environmental
impacts from product transport

HP Green Supply Chain

End-of-life
HP offers a variety of take-back options, including
asset recovery, donation, leasing returns,
remarketing/refurbishment, trade-in and recycling.
Materials selection and identification increase value
at end-of-life and facilitate recycling.
Design features increase ease of disassembly,
recycling and material reuse.
