HP's entire workstation line has taken home the gold for its energy efficiency and recyclability, the company announced Tuesday.

The company scored a Gold rating based on the guidelines of the
Electronic Products Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT), making HP
the largest holder of EPEAT Gold registered products.

The workstations were built from the ground up with an 80 PLUS
power supply, which consumes up to 15 percent less energy and lowers
overall energy usage and waste heat. All workstations are more than 90
percent recyclable by weight, and the company offers a take-back
program for used equipment.

Workstations are typically used for design purposes in the graphic
arts, engineering, manufacturing and finance industries, among others.
HP's Gold registered Workstations include the HP xw4550 Workstation, HP
xw4600 Workstation, HP xw6600 Workstation, HP xw8600 Workstation, and
the HP xw9400 Workstation.

"Our new generation of HP Workstations was designed from the inside
out with the environment in mind," John Thompson, vice president and
general manager of HP's workstations global business unit, said in a
statement. "Customers will find these workstations not only to be the
most innovative performance machines for the most demanding of
applications, but also the best choice for the environmentally
conscious professional."
