Hewlett-Packard receives recycling design award
 
LAS VEGAS / April 7 -- The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries has awarded computer and electronics maker Hewlett-Packard the institute´s first Design for Recycling award.

ISRI created the award to recognize a company or individual that is voluntarily working in the earliest stages of product design toward end-of-life recyclability.

"We chose HP because of its documented efforts to reduce the use of hazardous substances, to simplify component design, and to build computers and printing products for easy disassembly and recycling," ISRI President Robin Wiener said.

HP received the award April 6 during the closing session of the ISRI convention and exposition in Las Vegas.
