HP Cuts Price for its E-Recycling Program

Demonstrating its commitment to recycling, HP announced that it recycled more than 120 million pounds of used computer hardware and HP print cartridges globally in 2004. This brings HP's cumulative recycling total since 1987 to 616 million pounds -- more than halfway toward meeting the company-wide goal to recycle 1 billion pounds by the end of 2007.

"Our research found that while nearly three out of four consumers have used or unwanted technology products in their homes, they aren't sure how to dispose of it," said David Lear, vice president, Corporate, Social and Environmental Responsibility, HP. "Clearly, Americans recognize the importance of responsible technology recycling and HP shares in their desire to ensure their used or unwanted technology products are recycled responsibly and affordably."

HP's 50 percent off recycling promotion will run from April 22 through May 31, 2005, and can be used in conjunction with HP's existing recycling e-coupon that offers online recycling customers up to $50 toward the purchase of a new product on www.hpshopping.com.
