MICHAEL DELL

our top 10 markets. India is in the top 10. In fact, it’s the fastest growing market of our top 10, ahead of
everybody, including China. There are plenty of opportunities in India and we couldn’t be more excited.”

USES AN ECO FRIENDLY
PACKAGING SOLUTION -
BAMBOO
It's Renewable, Local and Biodegradable
Paper and plastic may be the most common packaging options, but they’re not the only ones. Dell
pioneered the use of bamboo to protect certain devices. This giant member of the grass family, found in
everything from food to flooring, is now also a sustainable packaging solution. dell uses it to cushion many
of our lightweight products, including all laptops produced in China
WHY BAMBOO?
Bamboo packaging helps promote a healthier planet.
It’s local — The bamboo used for our packaging grows close to the facilities that manufacture our
products. This reduces our packaging-related carbon footprint.
It grows quickly — Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world. It can grow up to 24"
(nearly 61 cm) a day. It can be harvested in just three to seven years — much faster than hardwoods.
It’s strong and durable — Like steel, bamboo can withstand lots of stress while being stretched.
Because it’s so tough, dell knows it can protect your technology equipment effectively.
It’s a friend of the environment — Bamboo helps promote healthy soil. The plant’s deep root systems
protect against soil erosion.
