In 2006, we updated HP's product packaging data collection system to track packaging material use by product line. We will establish baseline data for the first half of calendar 2007, and we will set material reduction goals later in the year.
The table below shows the average weight of packaging per product, by type of packaging material. The data show a significant decrease from 2005 to 2006.
