environmental statement

Hewlett-Packard continuously improves the design processes of its deskjet printers to minimize the negative impact on the office environment and on the communities where printers are manufactured, shipped, and used. Hewlett-Packard has also developed processes to minimize the negative impact of the disposal of the printer at the end of its printing life.

reduction and elimination

Paper use: The printer’s automatic/manual two- sided printing capability reduces paper usage and the resulting demands on natural resources. This printer is suited for the use of recycled papers according to DIN 19 309.

Ozone: Ozone-depleting chemicals such as CFCs have been eliminated from Hewlett- Packard manufacturing processes.

recycling

Design for recycling has been incorporated into this printer. The number of materials has been kept to a minimum while ensuring proper functionality and reliability. Dissimilar materials have been designed to separate easily. Fasteners and other connections are easy to locate, access, and remove using common tools. High priority parts have been designed to access quickly for efficient disassembly and repair. Plastic parts have been primarily designed in no more than two colors to enhance recycling options. A few small parts are colored specifically to highlight customer access points.

Printer packaging: The packaging materials for this printer have been selected to provide maximum protection for the least cost possible, while attempting to minimize environmental impact and facilitate recycling. The rugged design of the HP Deskjet printer assists in minimizing both packaging materials and damage rates.

Plastic parts: All major plastics and plastic parts are marked according to international standards. All plastic parts used in the printer housing and chassis are technically recyclable and all use a single polymer.
