Dell is trying to reduce the packaging waste by 10% in the next four years. Using green packages for their products – intensive recycling and sustainability programs, the company will help preserve “more than 150,000 trees” and should see a drop in costs by some $8.1 million.

The effort is to integrate an “air-filled cushion technology and renewable materials including molded pulp cushions and recycled High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) thermal-formed cushions”. Most materials they’ll recycle, are milk jugs and laundry detergent bottles – 2 million of these.

Meanwhile, Dell is trying to prove they’ve embraced the “green road” and announced that their Greenprint Advisor, a free web-based resource center is now available for U.S. businesses and organizations to evaluate their green initiatives. It’s expected to go globally soon, too.

Any other manufacturers to at least look green? – via TGDaily
