HP today announced several milestones in the company’s push to deliver energy savings, decrease carbon footprint and offer products and solutions that enable customers to reduce their environmental impact.

One of these is that 1 billion HP ink cartridges have been manufactured using recycled plastic

The Electronics TakeBack Coalition has released a new report card grading electronics manufacturers that produce TVs, computers, gaming consoles and printers on their sustainability efforts around recycling. Somewhat similar to Greenpeace's rankings, the report card shows where manufacturers are succeeding at walking the talk about minimizing the environmental impact of their products -- but more often it shows where they're failing miserably.

The companies on Electronic TakeBack Coalition's list were even graded on a curve, but unfortunately, all the printer companies (save HP) received giant F's.

SO-called 'green' energy providers are not all they seem, a watchdog has warned.

As much as one-third of electricity sold by eco-friendly companies such as Airtricity is produced by burning gas, coal, peat and oil -- the fossil fuels that are the main cause of global warming.

The Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) said yesterday that just 65.6pc of all power sold by Airtricity comes from renewable sources, with the rest produced from fossil fuels, including gas (24.8pc), coal (5.7pc), peat (2.7pc) and oil (1pc).

The figure is even lower for Quinn Wind Farm Ltd, which produces just 28pc from wind with the bulk of power provided to customers (51.5pc) produced by burning gas.

HP today was ranked No. 1 on Corporate Responsibility Magazine’s (formerly known as CRO Magazine) 11th annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens List.

Climbing from fifth place in last year’s rankings, HP gained the No. 1 spot, as a result of its scores in seven criteria categories: environment, climate change, human rights, philanthropy, employee relations, financial and corporate governance.

Data centers are, thankfully, getting a lot of attention when it comes to making them more efficient. Considering that roughly 60% of the electricity used at a data center goes to keeping the servers cool, focusing on smart cooling tactics is essential. HP has taken this to heart and has opened it's first wind-cooled data center, and it's the company's most efficient data center to date.

In this piece, HP claims that their data center is the world's first wind-cooled data center - I'm not sure just how valid this is as I have heard BT only do wind-cooled data centers!

This year's annual Greenpeace "Guide to Greener Electronics" has been released, and it is a mixed bag. The lowest scores are higher than they were last year, but the highest scores are lower.

Apple and Hewlett Packard get green points this month, as HP is rewarded in the latest edition of our Guide to Greener Electronics and Apple releases details of their greenhouse gas emissions. But the big points go to activist consumers for proving once again that public pressure creates positive change.

HP today came up with a videoconferencing product that could work out 1,000 times cheaper than the telepresence mega-productions itself and Cisco have been pushing.

Cisco’s TelePresence or HP’s Halo can cost more than $300,000 for a boardroom suite setup, but HP’s SkyRoom could link two boardrooms for less than $300.

HP today announced it has established new goals to reduce the energy use and carbon intensity of its operations and products as well as reported its progress on environmental initiatives across the company.
