When we think of sustainability efforts, printers might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Typically, campaigns focus on recycling, reducing waste, or promoting remote work to cut down on commuting. However, Noelle Peutat, the global strategic sustainability lead for HP’s large-format printing business unit, reminds us that sustainability is not just about the environment – it also encompasses society and the economy.
Defining sustainability in the printing business can be a challenge, as it ultimately depends on how customers perceive it. Printers have often been labeled as environmentally unfriendly due to their reliance on paper and ink in the digital age, as well as the significant energy consumption associated with operating these machines.
Despite this reputation, companies like HP have been working tirelessly to enhance the sustainability of printers and their components. They are increasing awareness of take-back programs, utilizing more sustainable paper, opting for eco-friendly ink, and leveraging technology to minimize waste.
