HP laptop-in-a-bag wins Walmart 'green' challenge
HP says it has found a way to reduce notebook packaging materials by 97 percent, and cut transportation costs by 31 percent. The computer giant has won Walmart's "green" Home Entertainment Design Challenge, by packaging a Pavillion dv6929 in a messenger bag capable of doubling as a shipping container. As a result, less styrofoam and cardboard are consumed, and a bulk shipment can occupy less space in ships and trucks, in theory resulting in less fuel expenses.

When Walmart asked electronics manufacturers to produce a product that would reduce environmental impact, HP—a leader in environmental responsibility—was up for the challenge. And the result was a winning solution that reduced packaging materials by 97%.* Thinking outside the box HP developed a sturdy and stylish messenger bag and put the HP Pavilion dv6929wm Entertainment Notebook PC inside. The unique HP Protect Messenger Bag guards the notebook during shipping and is put directly on a Walmart shelf. Customers leave Walmart with just their new notebook, accessories and a convenient, reusable messenger bag— and avoid the hassle and waste of boxes and excess packaging.
