Does Dell use any recycled/renewable materials in its products?
Yes. The plastics and corrugated packaging used in some Dell™ products contain varying levels of recycled content, by application and product type. For example, the enclosures of the OptiPlex™ 980 and XE can be configured to include up to 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastic (up from 10 percent). We have also launched numerous flat-panel monitors whose enclosures contain 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastic. These include the E190S, E170S, G2410H, P2011H, P2211H, P2311H and many more. In 2009, we shipped approximately 7.2 million pounds of post-consumer recycled plastic in select monitors and systems, equivalent to recycling more than 263 million water bottles. And all corrugated packaging contains at least 25 percent recycled content. Molded paper pulp and HDPE cushions are made from 100 percent recycled content. In addition, we use bamboo — a highly renewable (as well as compostable) material that is strong, fast-growing and easy on the environment — for the cushions that c
