As a part of its responsibility towards the warming globe, as the world’s foremost tech harbor, sustainability has been Intel’s indivisible nickname. The corporate has been paving the way in more than just sustainable semiconductor manufacturing; it has been also sharing the world its ultimate goals to achieve by 2023 in the field of water, waste, and climate change.
In its latest exclusive interview with the Egyptian Gazette newspaper, Intel shared its vision of creating a sustainable PC lifecycle.
The tech harbor elaborated on its commitment to reduce the carbon footprint in the overall productions, as well as its insistence on pushing sustainability into their various products, platforms, and services. This is through collaborating with different customers, universities and academia’s, other companies and non-profit industries to be able to bring that environmental change and to reach the corporate’s global sustainability goals.
“We look into sustainability in PCs as an end-to-end lifecycle” Gokul Subramaniam, the vice president in the Client Computing Group (CCG) who also serves as general manager of Client Platform and Systems at Intel Corporation, started his words saying.
Intel monitored the carbon footprint of the PC throughout its three-stage life circle: while being manufactured, during operating, and after retirement as its life as an operating PC comes to an end.
Throughout its research, Intel prioritized finding sustainable options in three elements based on each aspect of the PC life circle.
“Our focus in Intel is on three main sustainable priorities: to lower embodied carbon footprint through ecosystem enablement, to manufacture products that are energy efficiency for real-life applications in order to operate fast and effectively, and for the products to be designed for circularity,” Subramaniam said.
As sustainability became the main factor of concern for both business owners and consumers, Intel research showcased that 64% of the world consumers are highly concerned with sustainability. The research also indicate that 81% of senior IT leaders say that green tech is highly important in producing sustainable products. Intel’s digging also revealed that half of the Gen Z is welling to pay more for an eco-friendly product, according to Subramaniam.
He further added that Intel’s concern goes beyond semiconductors, reaching out the battery, screen, board, and all that can be greenery replaced to reduce the damage to the enjoyment.
Under its 2030 global vision, Intel has set its sustainable goals to achieve 100% renewable electricity within six years from now, and it managed to reach up to 93% renewable electricity so far. When it comes to waste, the vision expects to achieve zero waste to landfill by the time, leaving it corporate with a little remaining number to reduce as it currently managed to limit its waste to only 6.3%.
As for the main source of living, Intel aims to achieve Net positive water by 2030, which it successfully managed to accomplish at the current time in both the United States and India. Intel proudly announces that 107% of the water used in the manufacturing of was returned and reused.
