In today’s business environment, sustainability is more than a buzzword, it’s a critical business requirement. Consumers and retailers alike are increasingly choosing to work with businesses that demonstrate a commitment to putting sustainability values into practice. At Mainstreet, we’ve chosen to partner with HP, not just because they offer leading-edge POS solutions, but because they stand at the forefront of sustainable technology and innovation.
Every year, HP delivers a Sustainable Impact Report, to document specific ways they’re working to improve environmental responsibility. Check out some of the noteworthy achievements from HP’s 2023 report:
Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
HP reached a 27% reduction in its value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to its 2019 baseline. This milestone is part of HP’s goal to achieve net zero emissions by 2040, highlighting their commitment to climate action.

Circular Economy Initiatives
HP surpassed more than 1 billion pounds of recycled materials used in products and packaging since 2019. They also launched HP Certified refurbished hardware as part of HP Renew Solutions, encouraging the reuse of machines as part of the circular economy.
Energy-Efficient Products:
HP’s increased the use of recycled materials in both products and packaging. The HP EliteBook 1040 G10, is now made from 90% recycled magnesium, and its packaging is 100% sustainably sourced, an example of how HP is reducing their carbon footprint.
Sustainable Paper and Packagin:
HP is working to eliminate 75% of single-use plastic by 2025, using recycled or certified-sustainable sources for HP-brand paper and paper-based packaging.
