About this report

Life cycle assessment Sustainable innovation requires a deep understanding of product environmental perfor- mance, from materials selection and manufacturing to product use and end of service. HP uses life cycle assessment (LCA) to quantify the environmental characteristics and impacts of our products and solutions. We also conduct product carbon footprints (PCF) to advance our work to reduce product greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These tools help us identify the processes, components, and materials with the largest environmental impacts, and compare them with possible alternatives. We use those insights to target areas for improvement and inform future product design. HP follows universal LCA standards set by ISO 14040/14044 and ISO 14025. For PCFs, we use International Electrotechnical Commission Technical Report 62921, which Hewlett-Packard Company helped develop and which streamlines carbon footprint calculations for computer and display products. We continually update our LCA and PCF tools to ensure that they provide the most useful information possible. Assessing printing products In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company completed or updated 64 LCAs, including 48 HP LaserJet printers, 11 HP inkjet products, four scanners, and one graphics printing product. For the first time, this included an LCA on HP DesignJet printing products. Together with prior assessments, 100% of the company’s printing portfolio, including digital presses, has now been analyzed using LCA. This enables HP to calculate a carbon footprint for its entire printing portfolio. This work will support HP’s efforts to continue to improve our printers’ environmental performance moving forward. In 2015, the company conducted an LCA of the groundbreaking HP LaserJet Enterprise M506dn. This printer leads its class in low energy consumption, using a new toner technology called HP JetIntelligence that enables higher page yields, faster printing, and increased energy efficiency. The LCA demonstrated a cartridge-related CO 2 e emissions reduction of approximately 55% compared to the product’s predecessor, the HP Laser- Jet P3015. For more information see Printing . Assessing personal system products We use PCFs, a subset of LCAs, to help us understand and reduce the climate impact of our personal systems products. For all HP commercial desktops, notebooks, tablets, workstations, all-in-one computers, and monitors, we conduct PCFs before the product goes to market. Products covered by PCF analysis comprised 96% of Hewlett-Packard Company’s personal systems revenue in 2015. For example, PCFs can help us understand and address the environmental impact of specific manufacturing activities, including the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-GHGs) to clean and etch panels during the production of LCD displays. These potent gases have far greater global warming potential (GWP) than CO 2 ; SF 6 , one of the most widely used F-GHGs in display manufacturing, has a 100-year global warming potential that is approximately 23,000 times greater than CO 2 . HP will continue to work with sup- pliers to reduce the release of F-GHGs during the display manufacturing process through abatement and development of alternative gases.
