One of HP’s voluntary goals is to remove all mercury – a potentially hazardous
substance commonly found in notebook computer screens – from its notebook PCs
by the end of 2010.
HP also has an internal voluntary goal to apply the EU RoHS 2 substance and
exemption requirements outside the EU (and EFTA), except where it is widely
recognized that there is no technically feasible alternative (as indicated by an
exemption under the EU RoHS Directive), on a worldwide basis within 6 months
of each of the EU’s various legal compliance dates for virtually all HP branded
products in the scope of EU RoHS 2.
In early 2003, a company-wide RoHS team was formed to manage all aspects of
HP’s global response to all the RoHS legislations around the world. HP’s initiative
to address the RoHS legislations is part of the company’s Design for Environment
program, which includes using materials more efficiently, finding alternatives for
designated materials, designing for energy efficiency, and designing products
that can be easily recycled.
HP complies with (see Compliance Status below) the requirements of the all RoHS
legislations currently in effect. We have also met our internal voluntary goal of
eliminating or reducing the current RoHS substances to the EU-specified levels,
except where it is widely recognized that there is no technically feasible
alternative (as indicated by an exemption under the EU RoHS Directive), for
virtually all HP branded products in the scope of EU RoHS 1 worldwide.
HP continues to plan for further “RoHS like” legislation in other jurisdictions and
will meet any additional requirements that arise.
