Internal Use - Confidential

Figure 3: Rear handles are no longer painted, but rather leverage a bead blasted die

cast to ensure handle quality remains superb over thousands of cycles.

2. Black plastics contain up to 30% recycled resin. Internal components such as latches, air shrouds and casings

now use recycled plastics to reduce the production of excess undesired plastics that pollute the oceans and

harm our ecosystem.

3. Designs are being standardized across the PowerEdge portfolio. Standardizing primary components, such as

the chassis, rails and guards, means less prototyping and tooling is required, which must use a small yet

significant amount of toxic metal material that will eventually become waste. By moving forwards with a

standardization approach, prototyping will be needed much less frequently, and tooling can be reused.

In Conclusion

Dell EMC is committed to manufacturing servers with the future in mind and to make a positive impact on our

surroundings. By efficiently and thoughtfully designing PowerEdge products, server technology can continue to

advance while simultaneously helping preserve our environment.
