October
2009 HP in Europe has launched a free non paper media recycling scheme
for it’s wide format customers.”We needed to launch something for
non-paper media,” said HP EMEA GSB marketing director Francois Martin.
“There is an increased demand for traceability – brand owners want to
know what happens to old banners.”The offer is only for HP
supplied media and leaves the door open for other vendors to follow
suit.HP’s HDPE reinforced banner, its Tyvek banner, its heavy textile
banner and the wrinkle-free flag are all covered under the
scheme..Customers can apply for a special HP recycling box which, once
full, is collected and the substrates taken to a to Italy for
reprocessing into various products.HP customers in Italy,
Spain, Switzerland, UK, Turkey, Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden and
the Netherlands wil all bebefit from the initiative.The scheme started
life in the US where 3rd party recyclers complained that the volumes
were too low for collection.HP already offers a system for recycling
printheads, ink cartridges and cleaning stations.
