One of the biggest challenges is educating people about their impact on the environment (yes, your carbon footprint!) and what they can do to reduce carbon emission both at home and work. This emanates from the fact in 1997 HP became the first PC manufacturer to operate its own recycling facility and in 2007 saw it reach its goal of 1 billion pounds (roughly around 453592370 kg’s).
hpshop has been an HP Preferred Partner for more than 5 years running and thus has launched a Green Campaign on the 1st of July with an entire range of ENERGY STAR®-rated printers, notebooks, desktops and LCD’s. Each product will have the “I Am Green” stamp, and while browsing the blog and following hpshop’s twitter we will constantly update you on tips for going green.
Just a few facts about HP’s range of products:
• ENERGY STAR®-rated All-in-One printers can save about R1870 in electricity bills over its lifetime.
• ENERGY STAR® estimates that power management can save up to R637.50 per desktop computer and monitor each year.
• HP has developed a notebook that breaks the 24-hour battery-life barrier for continuous operation, an unprecedented milestone in the industry - HP EliteBook 6930p.
• HP 550 Notebooks has a silver EPEAT rating
• HP is first to market in 2009 with the first All-in-One Touch-enabled desktop, which uses 55% less metal and 37% less plastic than standard PCs and monitors.
