HP Waste Data Preview
In 2023, HP conducted an environmental assessment and disclosed corporate waste management data in accordance with recognized sustainability reporting standards. The company provided a breakdown of its waste by type (hazardous vs non-hazardous) and treatment method (recovery vs disposal), enabling greater transparency into its waste handling and environmental practices.

Insights into HP's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, HP generated a total of 30,480 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 66.93% of HP's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 33.07% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
HP's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of HP's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, HP reported a total waste generation of 30,480 metric tonnes, of which 66.93% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that HP is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has HP reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, HP's total waste generation increased by 45.42%, including a 14.5% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices.
Over the same period, HP's waste recovery rate increased by 33.6%, including a 16.45% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal.
Overall, HP has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.

Insights into HP’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2023, HP generated a total of 30,480 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 20.93% of HP's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment. 79.07% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How HP reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2021, HP's total waste generation increased by 45.42%, including a 14.5% rise in 2023, reflecting a persistent upward trend that could be linked to operational growth, inefficient material use, or limited investment in waste prevention systems.
Over the same period, HP reduced the hazardousness of its waste by 37.86%, with a further 28.75% decline in 2023, suggesting a sustained and meaningful shift toward safer waste profiles and lower environmental impact.
Overall, HP is generating more waste but has significantly reduced the share of hazardous materials, suggesting a partial decoupling of volume and toxicity that could reflect more responsible inputs or enhanced treatment.
