Goals

Goal for 2006

• Eliminate lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium in 100% of electronic products sold worldwide, as defined by the EU RoHS Directive.
  Progress: Completed worldwide for virtually all HP branded products, except where it is widely recognized that there is no technically feasible alternative (as indicated by an exemption under the EU RoHS Directive).

Goals for 2007

• Eliminate the use of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in the external case plastic parts of all new HP brand product models introduced after December 31, 2006.
  Progress: Met, with the exception of a single low volume product that will be complete in the first half of 2007 due to a materials qualification delay.
  
• Eliminate the remaining uses of BFRs and PVCs in HP brand products as acceptable alternatives are identified that will not compromise product performance and will lower product health and environmental impacts.
  Progress: HP continues to identify and test alternative materials for remaining product uses of these materials, both on our own and as part of multi-stakeholder efforts.

Goal for 2008

• Provide customers, on request, with declarations for the materials listed in the GSE for all new HP products or as required by law.
  Progress: We have refocused our goal on a broad list of substances as we have received few customer requests for Joint Industry Guide (JIG) to Material Composition Declaration for Electronic Products data. We provide declarations for JIG annex A substances and some JIG annex B substances that are restricted in HP’s GSE.
