Dell Technologies is launching new products and sustainable materials. They build on Dell’s recent reveal of Concept Luna – an ambitious prototype that explores revolutionary design ideas to reduce resource use and keep even more circular materials in the economy.

The Latitude 5000 series is Dell’s highest volume PC. Therefore, investments in sustainability features help ensure Dell effectively delivers impact at scale.

The Latitude 5000 series.

The latest Latitude 5000 series offers even more intentional design choices to increase use of recycled and renewable content, including:

• A laptop lid made from 71% recyclable and renewable materials including tree-based bioplastic upcycled from the paper making industry (21%), reclaimed carbon fiber (20%) and post-consumer recycled plastic (30%). By focusing on the second heaviest part of the device – the lid – Dell can make a larger sustainability impact, helping reduce the product’s carbon, water and energy footprint.

• The base of the system is created with reclaimed carbon fiber (20%) and new bio-based rubber feet made from castor bean oil (39%). This renewable material reduces reliance on petroleum-based materials.

• This series also marks an important milestone in Dell’s existing use of ocean-bound plastics, expanding use beyond packaging into products. The Latitude 5000 series features ocean-bound plastics in the fan housing (28%).

• Protecting the product, the Latitude 5000 series features packaging made from 100% recycled or renewable materials – all of which is 100% recyclable.

“As we build on our circular leadership, we’re taking this a step further - continually examining, re-examining and reconsidering every step of the product lifecycle to deliver even more sustainable products in the future,” stated Rahul Tikoo, Senior Vice President, Client Product Group, Dell Technologies.

Over the last decade, Dell introduced a strong line-up of sustainable material innovations, including several industry-first applications. Dell is now building upon its existing efforts and partnerships with the expansion of new sustainable and renewable materials in more products and platforms.

In 2017, Dell launched the industry’s first project using ocean-bound plastics to create commercial-scale packaging with the goal of capturing this waste before it enters waterways and transforming it into a resource.

Since then, Dell has dramatically scaled usage – consuming over 227,000 pounds of ocean-bound plastics and using the material in over 5.1 million recyclable packaging trays and endcaps.

In addition to expanding ocean-bound plastics to the Latitude 5000 series, it can also be found in the fan housing in Dell's Precision 3000 series mobile workstations, and in the fan and fan housing in Dell OptiPlex Micro desktops and Precision Workstations.

Dell has also extended use of this material in its EcoLoop Pro series of backpacks, sleeves and briefcases which features 100% ocean-bound plastic in the exterior main fabric. 

The bio-based rubber derived from castor beans can also be found in the bottom bumpers of the Latitude 7430 and 7530 and Precision 3000 series Mobile Workstations—increasing Dell's mix of renewable materials.
