  19. 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

  20. HP PageWide technology Product design eliminates waste • 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 1 Using ENERGY STAR Total Energy Consumed (TEC) calculations.

  21. HP Instant Ink New business models, including Internet-connected printing subscription services • 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

  22. HP “closed loop” recycling program Reverse cycle solution featuring cross-industry collaboration and upcycling • 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%

  23. “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

  24. Keys to HP’s “closed loop” recycling success Patience and persistence through development process Management provided team time and resources for success Innovation in recycling and RCP solutions With no precedent or roadmap, creativity and invention essential Partnering with innovative suppliers Collaboration with partners leveraged core competencies

  25. 3D printing and HP MultiJet Fusion™ Technology Breakthrough innovation will transform supply chains and industries • 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 1 Speed 2 Quality 3 Economics 4 Reliability

  26. 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
