HP’s MPS provides a customizable set of solutions and offers recycling for printing supplies and end-of-life management for hardware. The model helps businesses optimize their imaging and printing infrastructure and has proved to be beneficial to businesses as it has helped with reductions in printing-related energy usage of 20–40 per cent, paper waste by 25 percent, as well as imaging and printing costs by 30 percent. 

HP’s DaaS also helps to maintain an optimized and scaled personal systems fleet. The end-of-life benefit and securing asset disposal and redeploying personal system units are examples of how sustainability is deeply rooted within HP’s solutions. 

The HP booth, which is located at Hall 5, Stand 30 will be recycled after the event – remains of which will be used to make furniture, namely chairs and tables for schools.
