We are not sustainable

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 there's a better way.

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…

    I got my Framework 13 in February 2022 and I love it. I’ll end up getting the AMD mainboard when it becomes more widely available, then take my old mainboard and RAM, put them in an enclosure, and make that my new NAS. Then my current NAS, which is just a Raspberry Pi, I’ll turn that into a PiHole.

      I am super excited about case options (3D printed, or coolermaster) ! When I do need an upgrade in some years time, the old MB will definitly not go to wast !

      I always found it very frustration to have some old laptop laying around, that still functions good, but there is nothing much to be done with it, or it involves a lot of tinkering and will never end up being a very elegant nor practical thing…

    If I need a new laptop, I’ll most likely get a Framework. Not only the upgradability repairability, but the upgradability is second to none.

    The one complaint I have is that the Ethernet module sticks out of the device. Seems like an oversight to make them so thin so they can’t fit an RJ-45 port. Maybe they’ll develop a module with a little flap like seen on some thin laptops with an RJ-45 port.

      I needed one and wanted one but unfortunately they don’t sell it in my country so I went with a macbook pro with the thinking that it will last me longer than anything else and that’s at least somewhat more eco friendly

    They don’t have the specs that I want, so… Not for me.
