About this report

HP’s 3D printing solution, Jet Fusion , is an important enabler of the circular economy. This disruptive technology facilitates more efficient materials use by streamlining the prototyping process, improving the economics of short-run manufacturing, and avoiding waste associated with mass production. It also enables superior designs for the customer. See case study below. Materials innovation is integral to progress toward the circular economy. HP is commit- ted to finding ways to incorporate more recycled materials into our products to support the material recovery market and reduce the need for future resource extraction. To be effective in doing this, we are also focused on removing substances of concern from product materials to facilitate their reuse into new products. Similarly, HP is continually improving energy efficiency throughout the product life cycle to enable the economy to move faster toward renewable sources of energy, which is also a key aspect of the circular economy. Progress in this area demands business leadership, collaboration, and effective public policy. HP belongs to the Ellen McArthur Foundation (EMF) Circular Economy 100 , a global platform of leading companies and innovators working to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Our input, so far, has included participation in a working group on reverse logistics and providing case study material for Intelligent Assets – an EMF report on the connection between the Internet of Things and the circular economy (see Printing for more detail). We also contribute to public policy discussions related to the transition to the circular economy. Areas of focus include the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal and the legitimate movement of used equipment.
