For health 4000 I had to buy a new printer to print off all of my papers. I went to the school store, and really had no idea what to buy. I was looking at the different options than something cool caught my eye. I saw the HP box and on the side was a big section titled "eco SOLUTIONS" I was very curious to see what this was. On the box some of the information included:
- made with 30% percent recycled plastic
- you can recycle 100% of the packaging
- includes a reusable to put it in
- printer cartridges contain up to 70% recycled materials
Also it seen that it was an energy star related product which I thought was really cool.
I checked out the website www.hp.com/ecosloutions and it included some really neat information.
- it included a carbon footprint calculator for your printer
- information about a HP Powers UN Climate Change Conference
- and information about HPs own recycling center. I found out that HP was the first computer company to have their own recycling center in 1997, and is on its way to recycling 2 billion pounds of products and materials
I think that its great that big companies are starting to do this. And its definitely something to look for when shopping.
That makes me feel really good since my computer is an HP (yes, I'm still a PC). I always wondered what the energy star sticker meant on my computer. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting and nice to know. Thank you for sharing this with us, I will take this into consideration.
ReplyDeleteSam, this is great! I'm guessing its Mac compatible too which is great! I'm in the market for a new printer as well, I'm gonna check this out! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post, I also just purchased a Mac but I will recommend HP accessories to my family members who all use PC's.
