Innovative Design

Sustainable design starts with a plan. Our world-class engineers and supply chain expertise combine to deliver the most innovative and responsible technology.
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.

Driving the future of sustainable product design

In 2021, we launched Concept Luna with Intel, exploring revolutionary design ideas for easy access, replacement, and reuse of components. In today’s AI-driven era, with high energy use and frequent PC refreshes, circular design is crucial. We've incorporated Concept Luna's principles into our devices, from mice to laptops and displays, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.

Sustainable Materials

Our use of sustainable materials helps reduce the environmental impact of making them and recycling them. That's why we’re committed to over 50% of product content and 100% of packaging being made from recycled or renewable materials by 2030.
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.
