Help save the environment with HP.

Sustainability forms the foundation for innovation and growth and benefits your company in the long-term.

HP is constantly developing with the aim to improve the lives of people around the world.

To meet these challenges, we have to bring about improvements for our planet, humankind and the community we live and work in. That's why HP:

Sustainable opportunities in Haiti.

In 2016, HP joined forces with Thread International to commit to the First Mile Coalition, Team Tassy and the Association des Collecteurs des Objets en Plastique to improve conditions at the Truitier landfill in Haiti. Currently, approximately 200 children aged between 8 and 12 collect recyclable materials at the landfill, working every day in very dangerous conditions. The aim of this initiative is therefore to improve the lives of these children by giving them access to high-quality education, including over 200 grants, medical checks and training in the subjects of health and security.

As part of this commitment, HP buys recycled plastic from the raw materials collected at the Truitier landfill and uses it in their closed recycling programme for ink cartridges. HP is therefore opening up a new marketing opportunity that generates a source of income and also improves working conditions while also contributing to a more inclusive recycling management that delivers sustainable jobs, opportunities and dignity for the Truitier community.
