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

      This is the only reason I haven’t bought one yet. I have no use/need for a new laptop, but really like the idea at the very least over… every other manufacturer really.

      Being able to choose/swap out ports alone would be fantastic.

      Same. I love my Thinkpad and absolutely will continue to buy them but I really like what framework is doing.
