 The effort that Dell is putting into ensuring that it's production cycle is circular, and not just a straight line from the mine to the dump, is extremely important. Frankly, they're making every other big electronics company look pretty darned bad. Via Engadget (thanks to Elizabeth for the tip)

True cradle to cradle takes a lot more engineering for re-use at manufacture. Has Dell really tooled up for materials re-use? If so GREAT, if not then they are on the right track.
Does't look like cradle-to-cradle to me

Here is the Dell policy http://www.dell.com/content/to...=en&s=corp from their own site:
Recycle If recycling your computer is your preference, Dell offers an environmentally friendly method to dispose of outdated computer equipment that no longer has useful life. Dell is happy to accept any brand of computer, keyboard, mouse, monitor or printer. And Dell will pick it up at your home. And the products End-of-Life instructions only mention the dissasembling step + list of materials. It stops there. | ||
