HP Goes the Green Way

by Abhinav Kaiser on August 26, 2008

While all printer manufacturers are pitching in to help protect the environment, HP has gone a step ahead and is planning on conducting sessions with customers to identify where paper could be saved.

Hewlett-Packard imaging and printing senior vice president Christopher Morgan said in an interview to an Australian TV - “Many times, documents are printed when they could really be dealt with in digital form.”

The HP VP felt that organisations must importantly understand where it stands in the environmental footprint to take a complete view of the situation, including the equipment currently being used and the processes employed by workers.

“The savings that can be made in organisations is significant,” Morgan says. “You’ll never get rid of paper totally, but through efficient planning you can reduce the volume.”

HP’s Print 2.0 is specifically designed to address this issue. The software integrates all the corporate applications and places documents in appropriate places and hence reducing the need to print. It also scans documents and transmits to recipients to avoid printing.
