“HP is focused on creating a thoughtful, differentiated, and sustainable PC portfolio that makes a positive impact on the world,” states Stacy Wolff, global head of Design and Sustainability, Personal Systems, HP Inc.

“We are constantly evolving our designs to include sustainable materials and finishes, including ocean-bound plastics and water-borne finishes in our innovative portfolio.”

Designers at HP believe that sustainability and climate change matter more today than ever before with 76% of people believing environmental issues are of equal or greater concern than health issues as a result of the Pandemic.

Recognizing HP’s sensitive environmental approach, seven new HP sustainably designed products won recent 2021 Green Good Design® Awards from The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and The Chicago Athenaeum.

The seven awarded products include:

The HP Elite Folio is a 13.5 inch 2-in-1 laptop computer that easily adapts to where and how you need to work with security features to help keep confidential information from others view.

Its innovative use of sustainable materials shows prominently in the sophisticated pull-forward design. A soft folio-inspired exterior7wraps the PC and the enclosure is made from 90% recycled magnesium by weight.

The HP Elite Folio is intended to be EPEAT Gold and contributes to HP’s World’s Most Sustainable PC Portfolio.

It is designed for the ultimate productivity on the go in a new fan-less form factor that facilitates a seamless transition between laptop-mode and tablet mode.

The HP Spectre x360 contributes to HP’s World’s Most Sustainable PC Portfolio. It is a 2-in-1 PC that automatically adjusts to you and how you use it.

It starts with Smart Sense in HP Command Center that fine-tunes your PC’s performance automatically depending on your needs. Not only is it designed with the user in mind, but also the planet.

It is the world’s first laptop keyboard scissors made from natural, renewable material rather than plastic. It’s also the world’s first 3:2 aspect ratio convertible PC with a 90% screen to body ratio and adaptive intelligence.

The HP ProBook 635 Aero G7 is “the world’s lightest AMD-based business notebook,” all wrapped in an aluminum-magnesium alloy made in part from recycled materials.

It can go everywhere with you without weighing you down. With a sleek design, powerful business security, and connectivity this stunning business laptop keeps users productive around the home or office.

The use of recycled metals and plastics significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the product over it entire life, from material extraction to end-of-life recycling. Recycled metals use up to 80% less energy than virgin metals.

The enclosure is made of 90% recycled magnesium; the backlit keycaps are made with 50% recycled plastic, including used DVDs/CDs.

The speaker box enclosure is made from 50% recycled plastic, including ocean-bound plastic, and the keycaps are made from 50% recycled plastic, including DVDs.

HP has created supply chains for recycled aluminum, postconsumer plastics, and ocean-bound plastics. This product contributes to HP’s commitment to increasing the post-consumer recycled plastic content in the products to 30% by 2025.

The HP Renew Sleeve is a Sustainable knit 14-inch laptop sleeve made from recycled plastic bottles diverted from landfills. Designed to generate near to zero waste in production so users can feel reassured they are not contributing to generating more waste in the environment.

The knit sleeve evolved from the idea of creating something from the recycled yarn (Product composition 96% rPET and 4% Elastane) level and the ability to engineer structure towards a specific purpose.

The knit program would enable the knitting machine to put the yarns, features, and design elements exactly where they needed to go, without any waste from offcuts, patterning, or machining processes.

The innovative process starts with the bottles being turned into pellets; these are turn into pellets.

The pellets are spun into yarn, which is knitted into the sleeve.

Here plastic bottles turned into modern protection.

The HP U27 4K Wireless Monitor is made to support the creative while also protecting the planet.

Equipped with VESA certified DisplayHDR 400, Ultra-Wide Color Gamut, and factory color calibration. The team gives users the ability to create a smaller carbon footprint using a display that’s built with recycled ocean-bound plastics equating to 3.5 plastic water bottles.

The company goes one step further with packaging that is sustainably sourced and recyclable.

This is HP Consumer Displays group’s first product to incorporate this level of sustainable material.

The HP EliteOne 800 G6, an EPEAT Gold registered product, is a strong addition to the World’s Most Sustainable PC Portfolio. An All-in-One desktop computer, configurable to meet the needs of the business professional and creative.

With a 27″ display, it’s equipped with a beautiful display, graphics, and business-focused with high performance to match.

The HP EliteOne 800 All-in-One grabs attention with its streamlined modern design with a built-in webcam, speakers, and microphone. Responsibly made, it contains up to 62% recycled plastic, included ocean-bound plastic.

HP’s goal is to increase the use of PCR in the products by 30% by 2025.

The product is sanitizable, having been tested to 1000 cleaning cycles with household wipe.

The HP Elite c1030 Chromebook was designed with the environment in mind. It is composed of ocean-bound plastics and recycled aluminum for a thin design without compromising performance.

The HP c1030 Chromebook Enterprise is built with recycled aluminum and post-consumer recycled plastics (PCR), including ocean-bound plastics, which can be recycled at the end of the computer’s life.

HP created supply chains for recycled aluminum and ocean-bound plastics. These computers are produced with conservation as a core priority by reducing the need for virgin materials.

In 2016, HP launched an initiative in Haiti to help tackle the growing problem of ocean-bound plastics; as of June 2020, HP has sourced more than 60 million bottles to be upcycled into HP print cartridges and hardware; that’s over 1.7 million pounds of plastic material, and that number continues to grow.

In addition to protecting our ocean and the planet, HP’s ocean-bound plastic programs are also creating new opportunities for economic advancement and education in local communities.

“We are leading with customer insights to create simple, seamless, sustainable devices,” said Steve Sandwisch, Head of Global Print Experience and Design.

“Inspired by the millions of people working and learning from home, we are innovating to modernize print for the new hybrid models of how we live and work.”
