HP Inc. today released its 2019 Sustainable Impact Report, which, among other initiatives, says the company will eliminate 75% of single-use plastic by 2025. This goal focuses on hardware unit packaging and is predicated on a move to molded fiber packaging cushions.
HP’s environmental packaging strategy aims to eliminate unnecessary plastics and materials of concerns wherever possible. In 2019, HP decided to eliminate power cord plastic ties and plastic document bags in hardware packaging. HP also has shifted to more recyclable, paper-based alternatives. To accelerate this shift, the company is transitioning from plastic foam packaging cushions to those made with 100% recycled, molded pulp for HP’s notebooks, desktops, and displays. The transition to molded fiber Personal Systems packaging cushions eliminated more than 1,000 tons of hard-to-recycle expanded plastic foam last year.
HP is also accelerating its use of recycled content plastics across its print and personal systems product portfolio. During 2019, HP used over 27,000 tons of post-consumer recycled content plastic in HP print and PS products, or equivalent to 9% plastics used. Creating a more efficient, circular, low-carbon economy is one of the global tech company’s major goals. HP reported that their suppliers have avoided 1.05 million metric tons of carbon dioxide between 2010 and 2017.
