About this report

Waste and recycling Although our facilities around the world do not generate large amounts of waste, we work to decrease related environmental impacts through a global policy of “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” We look for opportunities to reduce waste and increase recycling at all HP facilities. With employee support, we recycle paper, plastics, glass, aluminum containers, pallets, and batteries in all buildings where recycling is available. The main hazardous waste we generate is liquid from ink and inkjet manufacturing facilities. These sites prioritize waste management options with low environmental impacts and only use disposal as a last resort. We reuse electronic equipment when appropriate. Otherwise, we recycle it responsibly through the same programs we offer our customers. See Product return and recycling for details. Key waste reduction initiatives in 2015 that HP will maintain moving forward include: • Diverting furniture from landfill Hewlett-Packard Company diverted 824 tonnes of used furniture from landfill by selling and donating it to new users. • Earth Day recycling In Barcelona, Spain, Hewlett-Packard Company employees collected 7 tonnes of recycling materials in an office cleaning and recycling day in April 2015. Additionally, increased employee awareness following the event helped raise the landfill diversion rate to 94.1% from 87.5% in 2014.  In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company generated approximately 70,050 tonnes of total waste, an increase of 1% compared to 2014. The majority of this waste (90%) was non- hazardous. The company achieved an 87.2% landfill diversion rate globally, and at 50 of the company’s sites, 100% of waste was diverted from landfill. Hazardous waste rose by 6% globally during the year. This was due to increases in Asia Pacific and Japan, resulting from consolidation of manufacturing from other regions and increased production of printing supplies. HP will continue looking for opportunities to reduce waste during the coming year.
