Recycling 100 million pounds of plastic
Starting their Global TakeBack program in 2016, they have recycled over 21.5 million pounds of plastic as well as achieved 15% customer participation rate. This may seem particularly small as compared to the rate of 80% for recycling done by the automotive industry, but it is actually rather large in the technology industry. Dell cites the cause to companies that do not take responsibility of handling the product’s materials after it is being sold. With electronic waste accounting for 70% of our total waste, we do have to start worrying about how we should deal with them.
