Printers eligible for the program must be purchased before 30 April 2008, and the carbon offset funding provided by HP will cover the carbon emitted by the printer throughout its entire life cycle, with the carbon credit value going towards the accredited global warming program, Climate Positive.

Partnering with non-for-profit organisation, Climate Positive, HP has chosen to invest in renewable energy projects and support Climate Positive's education and engagement. This complements HP's long standing commitment and overall focus on energy efficiency, including the company's goal to reduce the combined energy consumption of its operations and products to 20 per cent below 2005 levels by 2010.

"While HP focuses on designing energy efficient products that meet or exceed industry standards and reduce the energy consumption of the products, the next step in minimising HP's environmental impact is to offset the energy used during the usage phase, which this program sets out to do," said HP South Pacific environment manager, Annukka Dickens.

"The Carbon Offset Program for LaserJet Printers will assure our business and consumer customers that by buying an HP LaserJet, they have not only purchased a product which has been designed and manufactured to have minimal impact on the environment, to use less energy and to be easily recycled, they have also offset the carbon emitted during the use of the product."
