Lavergne Group deepens ink with HP

NEW DELHI, INDIA: HP announced its growing collaboration with the Lavergne Group which now extends to Lavergne's new plastic compounding facility in Vietnam, following HP's achievement of manufacturing one billion ink cartridges that incorporate recycled plastic from HP's closed loop ink cartridge recycling program.

As a press release adds, HP's growing collaboration with the Lavergne Group is the culmination of a twelve-year relationship focused on developing closed loop plastic resin solutions that are claimed to meet the high quality standards required for Original HP ink cartridges. The Lavergne Group's expansion in Vietnam provides additional capacity for HP to continue year-on-year increases in the volume of closed loop recycled plastic used in manufacturing Original HP ink cartridges.

The Lavergne Group's new plant in Vietnam will facilitate regional qualification efforts, enabling future growth in the volume of Original HP Ink cartridges that can be manufactured using the closed loop recycling process.

The facility will also be closer to the manufacturing sites for HP Original Ink cartridges in Asia Pacific and local sources of recycled materials, which will provide an estimated six per cent reduction in the plastic carbon footprint when the facility is fully operational.
