Data-driven innovation meets sustainable PC design: Concept Luna’s evolution

Dubai, UAE: Last year, Dell Technologies introduced Concept Luna, a sustainable PC design which illustrates the company’s vision of how to reduce waste and emissions, reuse materials and achieve next-level innovation. Dell’s Experience Innovation Group engineers have worked over the last year to further refine the modular design of Concept Luna, eliminating the need for adhesives and cables, and minimizing the use of screws. These refinements make it easier to repair and dismantle a system. Concept Luna could dramatically simplify and accelerate repair and disassembly processes, making components more accessible and expanding opportunities for reuse.

Once the device itself is truly at the end of life, it’s refurbished and recycled to incorporate the same materials into next-generation laptops, monitors or phones. It’s a future where nothing goes to waste and the mountain of electronics discarded every year (more than 57 million tons, globally, to be exact) is dramatically reduced. Not only is technology dematerialized, but the materials used fuel a robust circular economy. Thereby, reducing the need for new, raw materials.

Key concept highlights include:

- New automation capabilities

- Disassembly robotic micro-factories that reduce hours-long processes to minutes or even seconds, for optimized component harvesting, reuse and refurbishment
