The Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) today announced Dell Inc. as the recipient of the 2014 Design for Recycling® (DFR) Award for two of its tablets and a laptop model representing products that emphasize recycling during every phase of the lifecycle. The DFR Award is ISRI’s highest award given annually to the most outstanding contribution to products designed with recycling in mind. It recognizes proactive steps made by manufacturers who have actively incorporated DFR principles into products and processes.
“As the Voice of the Recycling Industry, ISRI is proud to present the 2014 Design for Recycling® Award to Dell for prioritizing recycling in the manufacture of its tablets, laptops, and similar products,” said Robin Wiener, president of ISRI. “As Dell demonstrates, effective recycling begins at the drawing board. There were many strong contenders for this year’s award, but Dell’s strong commitment to sustainability, both through its own practices and for those who use its products, rose above the crowd.”
The Dell Latitude 10 and XPS 10 tablets, and its Latitude E7240 laptop are being recognized with this award.
“We are honored to have received the 2014 Design for Recycling (DFR) Award for our Latitude 10, Latitude E7240 and XPS 10,” said Ed Boyd, vice president of Experience Design, Dell. Dell will receive the award on April 10, during the 2014 ISRI Convention and Exposition in Las Vegas.
To be eligible for ISRI’s Design for Recycling® Award, a product must be designed/redesigned and manufactured to:
• Contain the maximum amount of materials that are recyclable;
• Be easily recycled through current or newly designed recycling processes and procedures;
• Be cost effective to recycle whereby the cost to recycle does not exceed the value of its recycled materials;
• Be free of hazardous materials that are not recyclable or impede the recycling process;
• Minimize the time and cost involved to recycle the product;
• Reduce the use of raw materials by including recycled materials and/or components; and
• Have a net gain in the overall recyclability of the product while reducing the overall negative impact on the environment.
