Dell has adopted a strategy that takes into account the greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts of our products and our suppliers. By assessing the carbon footprint of our products, we are able to identify areas for improvement to reduce overall GHG emissions and also help customers do the same. We determined the carbon footprint of the OptiPlex 780 Mini Tower, a typical business desktop. The total carbon footprint has been studied for three regions (US, Europe, Australia). The differences in the three scenarios have been further assessed. The distribution between manufacturing and use has been studied to determine where the focus on environmental improvement needs to be, manufacturing or use. Further the key components in terms of impact in the manufacturing phase have been assessed.
