Microsoft has surpassed its 2025 zero waste target with a 90.9% reuse and recycling rate for servers and components in 2024. The company is piloting sustainable extraction of rare earth minerals, expanding its Circular Centers, and developing recyclable packaging solutions. With over 3.2 million components reused this year and new Circular Centers planned in Cardiff and Australia, Microsoft aims to enhance regional job creation and promote sustainable infrastructure, while also collaborating with local organizations to support community circularity efforts.
Microsoft is excited to continue accelerating circularity practices across its business as it surpasses its zero waste targets for servers and components.
In addition to exceeding its 2025 zero waste goal a year early, Microsoft focuses on sustainable extraction and expanding Circular Centers globally.
The new Cardiff Circular Center will extend the life of data center hardware and support job creation through training for technicians.
By collaborating with local organizations, Microsoft reinforces its commitment to circular solutions in the communities where it operates.
