HP has unveiled its collaboration with the Lavergne Group which now extends to Lavergne's new plastic compounding facility in Vietnam resulting in the manufacture of 1 billion Original HP Ink cartridges with "closed loop" recycled plastic.
The Lavergne Group's new plant in Vietnam will facilitate regional qualification efforts, enabling future growth in the volume of Original HP Ink cartridges that can be manufactured using the "closed loop" recycling process.
The facility will be closer to the manufacturing sites for HP Original Ink cartridges in Asia Pacific and local sources of recycled materials, which will provide an estimated six per cent reduction in the plastic carbon footprint when the facility is fully operational.
Annukka Dickens, Head of Environmental Management, Asia Pacific & Japan, HP said, "We are excited to grow our collaboration with Lavergne in 'closed loop' ink cartridge recycling, which will help our customers who are using Original HP Ink reduce their impact on the environment. This year, HP has achieved a truly significant milestone, with 1 billion Original HP Ink cartridges manufactured using the 'closed loop' recycling process."
Jean-Luc Lavergne, President, Lavergne Group said, "We are proud to continue to work closely with HP, who demonstrates a strong commitment to the environment through continued recycling innovation that enables users of Original HP Ink to reduce their environmental impact."
