Intel unveiled its environmental goals for 2030 today, committing to cut down its greenhouse gas emissions and waste. By the end of the decade, the company aims to rely on renewable energy for all of its global electricity use and eliminate the trash it’s sending to landfills.
The company also announced that it hit many of the targets it had set for 2020. It’s now recycling more than 90 percent of its trash and sending almost no hazardous waste to landfills. The amount of greenhouse gases it pumps out has dropped roughly 30 percent since 2010, although its annual emissions crept up somewhat each year since 2016 as business grew. When it comes to water, it cut down its consumption by 38 percent — which the company says has saved 44 billion gallons in the past decade.
Intel plans to shave off another 10 percent of the carbon dioxide that comes from its factories and that’s generated from its electricity use. Last year, those emissions amounted to 2.79 million metric tons of carbon dioxide — less than one coal plant might pump out in one year. It already purchases enough renewable energy to cover more than 70 percent of its electricity use worldwide, including all its operations in the US and Europe.
