Guided by circular principles

Guided by circular principles

Our commitment to protecting the planet means reducing our dependency on creating new and instead reusing as much as we can. That’s why Dell Technologies is dedicated to keeping products and materials in circulation longer through repair, recovery and reuse—an approach known as the circular economy.
Modular design inspired by Concept Luna

Modular design inspired by Concept Luna

In 2021, we launched Concept Luna with Intel, exploring revolutionary design ideas for easy access, replacement, and reuse of components. This year, we have brought these big ideas to life with the world's first Modular USB-C port, which is more durable and easier to repair. Battery designs for PCs are now modular, making it quicker to change batteries and reduce electronic waste. And, select PCs will feature modular mainboard and I/O boards, making repairs more accessible.
Parts Ad Hoc Lifestyle Shoot

Democratizing Repair

At Dell, we're committed to helping you get the most out of your system. Our spare parts and tutorials make repairs and upgrades easy, and our intuitive app provides step-by-step guidance for troubleshooting and repairs. Together, we can reduce electronic waste and make technology more sustainable.

Recycled, Renewable and Low Emissions Materials

Our use of more sustainable materials helps reduce the environmental impact of making and recycling them. That's why we’re committed to over 50% of product content being made from recycled, renewable or low emission materials by 2030. Read more here.
Castor beans, tall oil and POM Eco B are naturally-replenishing alternatives to plastic.

Bio-based Plastic

Packaging created from bamboo, recycled paper pulp, and sugarcane fibers reduces the reliance on new materials.

Sustainably Forested Fibers​

Using recycled and low emissions aluminum can result in reduction in the carbon footprint of the material by up to 89%.​

Low Emissions and Recycled Aluminum​

We use certified recycled metals like recycled copper, recycled steel and recycled cobalt in our PCs.​

Recycled Metals

Post-consumer recycled plastic allows us to reuse existing materials, decreasing our need for new plastic.

Recycled Plastic

Recovered e-waste is used to make parts for new devices and keeps components in the circular economy.

Closed-loop Materials

We've saved over 443,000 pounds of plastics from the ocean, recycling them for use in our products and packaging.

Recycled Ocean-bound Plastic​

Carbon fiber reclaimed from the aerospace and other industries is recycled for use in our laptops.

Reclaimed Carbon Fiber​
Dell packaging

100% recycled or renewable packaging


By 2030, 100% of our packaging will be made from recycled or renewable material, or will utilize reused packaging. Today, 96.4% of our packaging materials are made from recycled or renewable materials, including paper alternatives to plastic bags, trays and tape.

Dedicated to higher environmental standards

Eco labels influence our sustainable efforts by giving standards for environmental claims, allowing you to better understand our products and our commitment to sustainability.

Dell has the widest portfolio of product types with EPEAT Climate+ designations. As of this year, our entire commercial PC portfolio will achieve TCO 10 certification, guaranteeing that every device meets stringent standards for safe substances, repairability, and renewable energy use.

Energy Efficient Data Center Solutions​

Traditional data centers put a significant strain on global energy demand. Our energy efficient solutions, powered by Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, use advancements in cooling and power management to lower your carbon footprint and optimize your current data center for a more sustainable future.
Energy efficient

Partners in environmental responsibility


Dell devices with modern management tools like Intel® Active Management Technology on Intel vPro®, allow IT to access devices out-of-band from virtually anywhere, reducing the need for fuel consuming deskside visits or asset shipments. Together with Intel, we work to find ways to be more sustainable across our carbon footprint, energy efficiency and product lifecycle of each device.

Together we can accelerate the circular economy
