Paper and paper products make up the largest percentage by volume of global solid waste streams. HP is working to use paper more efficiently and to increase our use of recycled paper products. Our aim is to reduce the number, size and weight of manuals and other literature, use automatic or manual duplex capability (printing on both sides of a page) to reduce paper usage, use addendums and revisions for updating manuals, and maximizing the use of post-consumer recycled content paper.
In 1999 HP committed to restrict its paper suppliers from providing products from non-sustainable forest sources. In addition, we participate in the Paper Working Group and the EPA's WasteWi$e program. Furthermore, HP has internal procurement specifications in place to promote the use of recycled content, business cards, stationery and advertising materials. HP also offers and uses our own brand of recycled office paper with 30 percent post-consumer recycled content.
