Computer technology company Dell has announced a new partnership with industry supplier SABIC, which will see the company utilise previously disused scrap carbon fibre in new products by the end of 2015.
The company estimates that it can prevent around 820,000 pounds of carbon fibre from ending up in landfill, while saving significantly on raw material costs. The initiative is a first for the tech industry.
Dell’s initiative adds to the growing number of examples of alternate material streams being exploited as both an economic and environmental opportunity. The company has been running a closed-loop plastics supply chain since January 2014, a programme that has recycled more than 4 million tonnes of plastics into Dell products.
