Dell and the environment

Green is not about limitation, it is about possibility. It is about finding a better way.

Every day, you have the opportunity to make greener choices, but when choosing technology, you do not want to compromise on cost, performance, or reliability. At Dell, we believe you should not have to, which is why we strive to ensure that people and companies do not have to make trade-offs to be green.

We make this a reality by delivering practical products and services that make an impact on real environmental issues, because at the heart of green is the powerful idea that better ways are possible. Better ways to use time, money, and resources. Better ways to live, work, and succeed in our world.

	Bamboo—Nature’s eco-friendly packaging solution To help achieve the shared goal of finding new ways to help preserve our planet’s natural resources, Dell provides practical, but innovative packaging solutions that help minimize environmental effects. Less packaging means less hassle for customers. Recyclable packaging makes it easy to dispose. And sustainable materials are good for our planet. Bamboo packaging is used to ship several Dell products. For easy disposal, our bamboo packaging is biodegradable and certified ‘compostable’ by the Soil Control Lab. We know that responsible sourcing is important to you, so the bamboo used in our packaging is sourced from a forest far away from pandas’ known habitats.
