Laptops Now Sold Via Eco-friendly Bags

Don’t be surprised if the next time you buy a laptop that it may come in an eco-friendly messenger bag and not the usual cardboard boxes we have been used to. Companies such as Hewlett Packard are now doing this practice of using eco-friendly packaging in selling their laptops, contributing towards green awareness as far as reducing their cardboard needs and offering better eco-friendly bags.
With this new way of packaging, do not be surprised if others follow HP’s lead as well.
HP claims that by using their method of packaging, they’ve reduced standard laptop packaging waste by 97%, eliminating most cardboard and styrofoam traditionally utilized. The bag itself is constructed of 100% recycled materials. This method of packaging also allows HP to ship four laptops per standard sized shipping box as opposed to three when using traditional laptop packaging. This might not sound like a lot, until you think of it this way: more efficient shipping means one out of four trucks hauling this product can be eliminated, saving emissions and fuel usage. The laptop comes with a voucher to recycle whatever laptop one’s new purchase is replacing, as well.
