Packaging
Commitment to sustainable packaging
Dell Technologies is a pioneer in the packaging industry, finding new ways to reduce our overall footprint, and utilizing new material sources like ocean-bound plastic, bamboo and mushrooms.
Using recycled and renewable materials helps us cut our energy and water consumption and allows those materials to be recycled yet again once the products have safely reached their users.
- 87% of our packaging materials are made from recycled or renewable content.12
- We are the first in our industry to make packaging from renewably sourced bamboo.
- Our packaging utilized more than 118,000 pounds of ocean-bound plastic in 2020.
- By introducing multipack solutions for client and infrastructure products, we have reduced packaging materials and our shipping footprint.13
