Eco Solutions constitutes a large scale program in several ways. First of all, it supports all kinds of customers- from consumers to businesses of all sizes Then, it offers a wide spectrum of tools and services which are designed to reduce the environmental impact of the products, for example, in the form of energy usage. I want to highlight only some of the Eco Solutions Elements.

I am myself a consumer and know how difficult it is to find out which of the many products  really is the best in environmental terms. The Eco Solutions Program therefore includes a label which highlights the environmental attributes of products and services.

Besides, Eco Solutions offers a new product portfolio within imaging and printing which includes features reducing the environmental impact. The Auto On/ Auto Off feature is probably the most prominent example. Did you know that up to 66 percent of wasted energy is used up by equipment that hasn’t been turned off over night or on weekends? Well, the Auto On/Auto Off feature is only one example of how our customers can save energy with the Eco Solutions Program. 

What I like about Eco Solutions is that it does not only address one or two issues, but it is very comprehensive . Please have a look here (http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2008/ipgenvironment/) to find out more about it.
