* Dates refer to when proactively adopted materials restrictions were first introduced on a Hewlett-Packard Company product, ahead of regulatory requirements. Materials in gray text beyond April 2016 have been identified by stakeholders as potential materials of concern. Future possible restriction of those materials depends, in part, on the qualification of acceptable alternative materials. For a comprehensive list of HP’s materials restrictions, including numerous materials restricted by HP on a worldwide basis in response to regional regulations, refer to HP’s General Specification for the Environment. ** These requirements apply only when designated by specific HP business units.
Using recycled materials We are committed to supporting the development of recovered materials markets through the use of recycled content in new HP products. Hewlett-Packard Company’s earliest closed loop recycling activities began with creating HP toner cartridges with plastic recycled from the HP Planet Partners program in 2000. Leadership with closed loop plastics recycling expanded in 2005 when the company started using recovered polyethylene terephthalate (PET) from our ink cartridges as a material source for new cartridges. Over time, this program has expanded to include additional cartridges and polypropylene plastic. Through 2015, Hewlett-Packard Com- pany manufactured more than 3 billion HP ink and toner cartridges using more than 177 million pounds of recycled content material. Through this process, the company kept 682 million cartridges, 50 million apparel hangers, and 3.3 billion postconsumer plastic bottles out of landfills, upcycling these materials for continued use. More than 80% of our ink cartridges now contain 45–70% recycled content, and 100% of HP toner cartridg- es now contain 10–33% recycled content. 8
