We are not sustainable

We are not sustainable. And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of “feel good” messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe there's a better way.

We are not sustainable And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of “feel good” messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on feels, we operate on data and actions. With funding from Intel, we commissioned Fraunhofer IZM to do a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA) on Framework Laptop 13 to help us understand where we are today and where we can continue to improve. Check out our thoughts on reducing environmental impact and download the LCA report here…

    It’s a great idea and I’m very interested but this article is just an ad. There’s very little substance.

      That’s a fair observation, but it’s not an article, it’s the company blog talking about upcoming things. I think the most remarkable thing is they admit their approaches are not sustainable, even though they’re trying to be green. And that’s a healthy thing to admit.

        I just wish they’d jump the pond already.

        It’s kinda funny how North America has the repairable laptop, while Europe has the repairable phone.

          Well, somebody here made a repairable laptop. They seem to be having some trouble making traction. You guys will probably force the existing manufacturers make repairable laptops before these guys even become a well-known product.

          It’s just a blog page on their own website. If you want to know more about the product you can go to frame.work. The only reason I know more about him is because Linus Sebastian shuffed his head directly up their ass for a while. His shilling tendencies aside the product looks pretty f****** solid.

          I don’t really have a problem with it being linked to let me technology because I think some more people should look at the products.
