Technology, Convenience and Social Responsibility

Not all companies are all about the profit. Some take corporate social responsibility seriously. HP, for instance, proactively saves the environment with their product-recycling program.

Most users think that their used up HP inkjet cartridge has already served its purpose. However, this isn't completely true. It can actually be recycled to form a part of a brand new ink cartridge, laserjet printer, metal or plastic product.

HP has been recycling their hardware since 1987. Seventy countries and territories worldwide participate in their recycling program. The process that HP employs in its environmentally conscious endeavor is called “closed loop”. This recycling process breaks the used up cartridge until it's reduced into a raw material. It is then combined with other materials – including recycled ones – to produce a new HP product. Through this program, the company isn't the only one who is able to lessen its carbon footprint. Their clients are able to do the same.

HP's example is a good reminder that with convenience and technology comes responsibility. As one of the largest IT companies in the world, their products allow consumers to enjoy the benefits of technological advancements in this increasingly technology-centric world. Then again, manufacturers and users alike ought to do their part in the proper disposal of technological equipment, as any responsible human being should.
