All of the crucial and pricey components of a PC or other computing device are protected by a computer casing. Internal components for modest desktop units, entire networks, and even sophisticated blade servers include items like the motherboard, chassis, discs, CPU, and more.
High stiffness, good tensile strength, low weight, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance, and minimal thermal expansion are only a few benefits of carbon fibres.
Typically, a case’s structural frame (chassis) is made of rigid metals like steel (typically SECC, or steel, electrogalvanized, cold-rolled coil) and aluminium alloy, with hardpoints for installing internal hardware, case fans/coolers, and managing cable routing.
Wherever lightweight and great strength are required, carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials are utilised to create parts for aircraft and spacecraft, race car bodies, golf club shafts, bicycle frames, fishing rods, vehicle springs, sailboat masts, and many other items.
The global carbon fiber computer housing market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The introduction of reclaimed carbon fibre source materials, the expansion of Dell’s closed-loop recycled plastic supply chain, and new industry partnerships to advance circular economy practices are just a few of the advancements that the company announced in relation to its circular economy initiatives.
In a first for the industry, Dell and its supplier SABIC have teamed up to recycle surplus carbon fibre and used raw materials into new Dell goods. Recycled carbon fibre will initially be used in a few Latitude and Alienware devices, with ambitions to extend across these two product lines.
By working with SABIC, Dell projects that 820,000 pounds of carbon fibre won’t end up in landfills. The carbon footprint of the recycled carbon fibre products is around 11% lower than that of using only virgin carbon fibre.
Dell has recycled 4.2 million pounds of closed-loop plastics into enclosures for new Dell devices since the business started to pioneer its closed-loop recycled plastics supply chain. With ambitions to expand to servers and other goods in 2016, these plastics were employed in more than 30 flat panel monitor models and three Dell OptiPlex desktops that were offered globally.
As the first closed-loop supply chain, Dell’s method was recognised by UL Environment, and it is still the only one in the sector. In addition, Dell was able to save money over its prior suppliers and cut the carbon footprint of its products by 11% thanks to the closed-loop products.
