Recognized by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for being the largest purchaser of green power in the US¹, Intel is helping drive sustainable technology through global standards, solutions, and products that deliver energy-efficient performance while reducing overall environmental impact.
Sustainable manufacturing
Committed to sustainable manufacturing, Intel has reduced operational energy consumption by 20 percent per product unit in the last three years, recycled or reused 87 percent of our chemical waste and 80 percent of our solid waste in 2007,² and has moved to lead-free³ and halogen-free4 products in 2008.
Energy-efficient performance
Engineers at Intel continuously look for new ways to increase performance while minimizing energy consumed. With the development of Intel® 45nm process technology, new hafnium-based circuitry helps to dramatically increase processor energy efficiency equating to more powerful computing experiences.
Designing for the environment
Intel's eco-smart products are designed with innovative materials that deliver energy-efficient performance while maintaining responsible manufacturing practices. By using innovative materials that preserve product integrity, Intel continues to reduce its environmental footprint.
Policy and industry
In collaboration with environmental organizations, government, and industry leaders, Intel is helping to establish and improve environmental initiatives, develop new eco-focused programs, while boosting environmental efforts, goals, and strategies around the world.
