SYSTEMIQ is delighted to announce that HP Inc has joined Project STOP as a technical partner
HP will bolster Project STOP’s ability to create a circular waste management system in East Java, including materials recovery centres to collect, manage and recycle plastic waste and create income-generation opportunities including those who work in the informal waste sector.
Since 2017, when it was launched by Borealis and SYSTEMIQ, Project STOP has been working with governments and communities to create effective waste management systems that eliminate plastics leakage into the ocean and creates circular systems in Southeast Asia. With two more cities to be launched in 2020, Project STOP will reach up to 450,000 people and prevent 80,000 tons of waste (8,000 tons of plastic waste) from leaking into the ocean annually, grow local employment and provide replicable solutions and innovations for other cities.
“Partners like HP are critical to ensuring that plastic is kept out of the environment,” said Joi Danielson, Program Director, Ocean Plastics Asia, at SYSTEMIQ. “We are proud to work with HP and be part of their commitment to source recycled plastic from projects like ours.”
in 2019, HP launched the world’s first notebook with ocean bound plastics: parts of its HP Elite Dragonfly are made from materials that were diverted from reaching the oceans and waterways.
