Circularity is an essential part of HP’s sustainability journey and our ambition to shape the Future of Work. As a company that uses more than 800,000 tonnes of product and packaging each year, we see circularity as a route to advancing resilience and long-term stability for our business and our stakeholders.

We embrace the principles of the circular economy, including eliminating waste, recovering material, scaling the use of recycled and renewable materials, and increasing the useful life of products. We maintain a range of initiatives, such as the HP Planet Partners program for closed-loop recycling of ink and toner cartridges; HP Solutions to take-back, refurbish, resale, and extend the life of products; our steadily increasing use of circular materials; and our offerings for device life extension and self-repair.

Five principles guide HP’s approach and drive progress toward a circular economy:

• Design circular products, services, and solutions
• Use recycled and renewable materials—Give materials a second life, expand lower-impact sourcing, and use safer alternatives
• Manufacture in ways that consider people and the planet
• Repair, refurbish, reuse—Provide services and support to extend product life and capture more value
• Recycle products and components to establish a circular loop.

In 2025, we increased the proportion of circular materials in our products and packaging, achieving 47% of materials, by weight, that were reused, recycled, or renewable.¹ During the year, we also reached a significant milestone as we: 

• Achieved our 2025 goals for plastic: Increased our rate of recycled plastic use by 18% from 2024 to 2025 and exceeded our 30% goal by incorporating 31% postconsumer recycled content plastic across our personal systems and print portfolio
• Achieved our 2025 goal to recycle 1.2 million tonnes of hardware and supplies—reaching 1.21 million tonnes since the beginning of 2016.

In June 2025, we reached our goal to eliminate 75% of single-use plastic packaging. Due to the mix of products, the full-year performance was 72.5%. 

Through our membership in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Network and our contribution to standards like the ISO 59000 series, we support the industry’s transition to a circular economy with practical and scalable solutions. The ISO 59000 standards help ensure products and services meet durability, reusability, and repairability criteria, fostering consumer trust and enabling efficiencies across the value chain.

¹ Renewable material is defined as material that is derived from plentiful resources that are quickly replenished by ecological cycles or agricultural processes, so that the services provided by these and other linked resources are not endangered and remain available for the next generation.
