HP offers carbon offset on printers
February 2008 – Blackburn (VIC), Australia HP Australia has launched a carbon offset programme for buyers of laserjet printers.The programme is running until 30 April and allows buyers to offset the estimated carbon emissions of the printer they buy over a five-year lifespan.After purchasing their printer, users then have to submit a claim form to HP who will then purchase the carbon credits from Climate Positive, a provider of tax deductible carbon offsets in Australia. Users will then receive a certificate to show that they are participating in the scheme.A typical monochrome laser printer is estimated to produce around two tonnes of CO² over five years, meaning the scheme could cost HP in the region of $40 per printer sold under the programme.
