I can understand the cocern about the difference between recycing ability and actual recycling… but when your looking at the comparison between something that CAN be recycled, you’ve gotta say its a step in the right direction. As a recycler, I know that getting clean uncontaminated materials into the re-grind process is a difficult and lossy process… but we still do it, and we do make viable money out of it. For God’s sake stop being so chritical and start supporting initiative. HP are not legally obligated to be green at all, so this is an exercise in forward thinking that steps around the ugly convention of planned obsolescence.

Sometimes as greens we get badged as luddites who just can anything that doesnt equate to hessian undies. Wake up and smell the initiative kids!

Love ya really, just a bit tired of people who sit in comfy chairs and sling hypercriciticsm

Going along with Luda, HP bought a local company at which some of my friends work. When it came time to replace their Dells with HP equipment HP smashed the old computers for scrap because it was more cost effective than scrubbing the hard drives and selling them. But what company wants to sell their competitors computers at discount when there’s market share to be had? Companies need to build “Green” into the company and it’s business plan, not just the products.

I raise the same question as Hun Boon here. Who and what facility will take on the recycle part of this thing? Because not every waste management facility will be able to recycle it to its full reuse capability.
Companies should think more about that other than using green slogan to put more greens in their pocket.

Being RECYCLABLE doesn’t meant it will get RECYCLED..

Thats really awesome, hopefully more companies catch on! Seriously though, does it have to be so ugly? Well, I hope style guru’s at Sony and Apple can change that soon! I know Apple is green to some extent, but lets see how they react to this!

I too would like more details on how recyclable the chassis of this computer is. Still, I’m interested I’d say that the fact that the chassis can be completely disassembled by hand also makes this thing fairly hack-worthy.

does this mean the box for the processor, keyboard and monitor are all
100% recyclable?
