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...

Framework: We design our products to last, to reduce e-waste

Enthusiasts: buys their products even though they don't need new ones, just because they're cool, producing more e-waste in the process

ultimately a lot of choice is left in the hands of the consumer

It's true. My previous laptop was getting up there in age but it still had probably a year or two left of casual use after I replaced the battery. Thankfully my father found a use for it with one of his projects. Now I'm eyeing Framework's new Ryzen mainboards and thinking of upgrading despite just buying this laptop last year. Yeah I can use my old mainboard as a home server, but I've been doing just fine without one.

If I do decide to upgrade, I don't know how I'll justify my subsequent upgrade until things stop working.
