Dell is quite open about the fact that they won’t be recycling these electronics all alone and they are looking for like-minded people to join them.
In an interview, Dell’s head of sustainability, Page Motes said;
A lot of this we feel like we’ve got to do locking arms with other like-minded organizations. Dell can’t do it alone, we would be far too arrogant to think we could.
It is indeed a great initiative by Dell of turning trash into treasure.
