Dell embraces a cradle-to-cradle approach to product design, with a focus on easy disassembly for effective product recycling. The company works closely with recyclers and repair professionals to incorporate best practices and design guidelines into products.

Many electronic products end up in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution and waste. Traditional product designs make it difficult to recycle and reuse materials, leading to a lack of circularity in the product lifecycle.

Dell's design for disassembly approach addresses the problem of electronic waste by incorporating key design guidelines into products at an early stage of development. The focus on modular design, upgradeability, standardized fasteners, single-access service doors, and clear disassembly instructions makes it easier for products to be disassembled and recycled, reducing environmental waste and pollution.

By embracing a cradle-to-cradle approach and designing products with easy disassembly in mind, Dell has been able to achieve a higher level of circularity in its product lifecycle. This has led to a reduction in environmental waste and pollution, as well as an increase in product efficiency and longevity.
