Environmental programs
IBM's voluntary environmental goal is to reuse or recycle end-of-life products such that the amount of product waste sent by our operations to landfills or to incineration for treatment does not exceed a combined 3 percent by weight of the total amount processed.³
In 2020, IBM processed more than 16,900 metric tons of end-of-life products and product waste, with 96.5 percent (by weight) reused, resold, or recycled. These practices extend the life of IT equipment and reduce the need to manufacture new products.³
