For more than two decades, we have worked to move the electronics industry toward safer alternatives to chemicals of concern. HP is committed to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including material restriction requirements under restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) legislation globally.

HP believes other substances should be considered for inclusion in future RoHS legislation. This includes the restriction of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) from electrical and electronic products (EEE). HP believes PVC and BFRs should be the focus for the restriction of chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) from electrical and electronic products, where technically feasible. HP’s reasons for focusing on PVC and BFRs are: 

• PVC and BFRs cover 99% of the uses for Cl and Br in electronics
• Given the high percentage usage, these substances have the highest impact
• Restriction of these substances, where technically feasible, would substantially accomplish the goal to eliminate Cl and Br from electronic products
