12. Growth Within: A Circular Economy
Vision for a Competitive Europe
• Structural waste
• Contribution of emerging technologies
• Implications of rebound effects
• Potential for greater utility and decoupling
• Impact on profitability
• Impact on GDP and employment
• Impact on environment and economic
resilience
CIRCULAR ECONOMY – BROADER VALUE ASSESSMENT
16. Scaling the circular economy at HP
• Product design – designing
out waste, materials use,
upgradeability
• New business models –
service-based solutions
• Reverse cycles – “closed
loop” recycling, reuse and
refurbishment
• Breakthrough innovation –
disrupting global supply
chains and manufacturing
17. Product design eliminates waste
HP PageWide technology
1 Using ENERGY STAR Total Energy Consumed (TEC) calculations.
• Uses up to 94% less supplies
and packaging waste than
comparable laser printers
• Reduces carbon footprint of
printing up to 55% per printer
• Uses up to 84% less energy
while printing and up to 25%
less power overall1 than lasers
in its class
• Prints up to twice the speed
and half the cost per page of
other color lasers
• Meets ISO specifications for
use in cleanrooms
18. • Printers generate up to 67% less waste per
printed page than conventional business
models
• Ink replacement cartridges automatically
delivered when printer is running low on ink
• Used cartridges returned to HP and fed
directly into “closed loop” recycling
program
• Customers can choose from different
monthly service plans based on pages
printed
• Enables customers to save up to 50% on
ink
New business models, including Internet-connected printing
subscription services
HP Instant Ink
19. • Manufacturing new ink cartridges
using returned cartridges and other
plastics contributes to circular
economy
• In five years, HP has helped divert
on average more than 1 million
water bottles per day
• More than 2.5 billion cartridges
produced using over 3 billion bottles
and 40 million hangers
• Recycled plastic has up to a 33%
smaller footprint than virgin plastic
• Enables HP to reduce fossil fuel
consumption by 54% and water
consumption by 75%
Reverse cycle solution featuring cross-industry collaboration and upcycling
HP “closed loop” recycling program
20. “Closed loop” recycled plastic progression
• Recycled PET (rPET)
– Five year development;
implemented in 2005
• Recycled polypropylene (rPP)
– Three year development;
implemented in 2013
• Recycled high impact
polypropylene (r2P2)
– Less than 12 months
development; implementation
began in 2014
• More than 75% of HP inkjet
supplies contain “closed loop”
plastic
Wave 1: rPET
Wave 2: rPP
Wave 3: r2P2
21. Innovation in
recycling and
RCP solutions
With no precedent or
roadmap, creativity
and invention

Patience and
persistence
through
development
process
Management provided
team time and resources
for success
Partnering with
innovative
suppliers
Collaboration with
partners leveraged
core competencies
Keys to HP’s “closed loop” recycling success

Reliability4
• Additive manufacturing enables
unique structural designs with no
manufacturing waste
• Enable new part/service supply
chains for other industries
• Exact supply and demand
matching delivers ability to
economically produce small
quantities
• Analogy to digital print
manufacturing with customized
product options that reduce waste
Breakthrough innovation will transform supply chains and
industries

23. Summary – why circular economy?
• It is part of our DNA
• Leadership in products and
services
• It makes good business
sense
• Challenges
• Collaboration
• Disruptive innovation to
transform other industries
