Recycling
Shipping an integrated cluster generates far less packaging than the individual components that
it contains. However, large clusters use a substantial amount of packaging material that is not
reusable. The bulk of the packaging material is recyclable, and is labeled as such. You should
plan on providing a number of dumpsters into which this packaging can be sorted and recycled.
HP has a strong commitment to protecting the environment. Your HP system has been designed
to be as environmentally safe as possible. HP can also take back your old system for recycling
when it reaches the end of its useful life. HP has a product take-back program in several countries.
The collected equipment is sent to HP recycling facilities in Europe or the U.S.A. As many parts
as possible are reused. The remainder is recycled. Special care is taken for batteries and other
potentially toxic substances; these are reduced into non-harmful components through special
chemical processes. If you require more information about the HP product take-back program,
contact your local dealer or your nearest HP Sales Office. Further information is also available
