The materials we choose are an essential component of our approach to circularity. We explore safer chemicals use and integrate increasing amounts of recycled and renewable content.¹ In 2025, 47% of the materials in our products and packaging, by weight, were reused, recycled, or renewable.

We publish information about the material content of typical HP personal systems and printers, and we continue to expand our full material disclosure program. In 2025, 98% of HP’s EPEAT®-registered personal systems products have collected data for at least 90% of the substances (by weight) used in these products.²

The HP Materials and Chemical Management Policy guides how we specify and restrict materials and chemicals for use in HP products, packaging, and manufacturing processes across our operations.

Supplier requirements are outlined in the HP General Specification for the Environment (GSE)—which is updated annually and includes environmental requirements for HP brand products—and in our Supplier Code of Conduct.

Also, we are committed to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including requirements under Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) legislation globally.

Further, we are working to advance our exploration of safer alternatives to chemicals and materials in current products through the Framework to Guide Selection of Chemical Alternatives by the National Academy of Sciences and incorporating the methodology of GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals.

We explore alternatives to chemicals and materials in current products and incorporate chemical hazard assessment (CHA) methodologies, such as the GreenScreen for Safer Chemicals. In 2025, we sponsored a working group through ChemForward’s Electronics Safer Chemistry Collaborative to share pre-competitive information on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) alternatives, as well as hazard assessments to help determine if these alternatives meet the criteria for our chemistry program. During 2025, we also funded CHAs for seven potential PFAS alternatives.

In 2021, we became a Founding Signatory of the Toward Zero Exposure program by Green America’s Clean Electronics Production Network, which protects workers from chemical hazards in the electronics supply chain.

¹ Renewable content is defined per the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) as “material 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.” 

² These data reflect the number of EPEAT®-registered product models for which substance inventory is collected, divided by the total number of EPEAT-registered product models.
