“It’s no longer just a fashionable thing to be sustainable,” says Darrick Christensen, packaging design and procurement manager at HP, adding that “everyone wants to contribute to using sustainable materials and minimizing our negative impact on our world.” In 2023, HP released a comprehensive overhaul of the computer line’s packaging, prioritizing the use of the sustainable materials consumers demand while also rightsizing the packaging to minimize waste and boost transport efficiency.

HP’s All-in-One PC combines the traditional tower and monitor into one head unit that serves both functions, and comes with a stand, base, power supply, cord, keyboard, and mouse to complete the setup. One of the most noticeable changes in HP’s All-in-One PC package redesign is the move away from plastics like expanded polyethylene (EPE), which predominantly made up the legacy packaging. To accomplish this, HP utilized a combination of recycled corrugated, paperboard, and molded pulp, with a small amount of 90 to 100% recycled EPE foam where necessary.

In fact, in addition to replacing EPE foam, another way is to use EPE recycling machine for recycling. When we have to use EPE foam, we must make a plan to recycle EPE foam. GREENMAX EPE recycling machine can help recycle EPE foam. At present, there are four major types of equipment for EPE foam recycling, hot melt equipment, cold press equipment, crushing preparation and granulation equipment. These EPE recycling machines are popular machines that can help with recycling.

GREENMAX has helped many factories to recycle EPE foam, including EPE foam blocks, EPE film and other forms of EPE waste foam. In the process of recycling EPE foam, hot melt equipment is a more popular EPE recycling machine, which achieves efficient compression through relatively basic steps such as crushing, heating and melting, and extrusion. This equipment can compress EPE waste to one-ninety-tenth of the original.
