HP to double recycled content in inkjet cartridge production
HP will double the amount of recycled plastic used in its injket print cartridges this year, having overcome engineering hurdles that had stopped it from using multiple sources and grades of material.
The company made 200m original HP injket print cartridges from recycled plastic in 2007 and since the pilot programme, it has used enough recycled plastic to fill more than 200 tractor trailers.
The total plastic in a cartridge is 70-100% recycled content, while stringent testing ensures consistency and reliability of the product.
HP is set to receive an environmental stewardship award from the Society of Plastics Engineers at the Global Plastics Environmental Conference in March.
