Cloud responsible packaging
We ensure that Microsoft cloud infrastructure hardware packaging meets global requirements and creates minimal environmental impact.
Our goals
Our sustainable packaging goals have a 2025 deadline and cover packaging for any cloud infrastructure product that is delivered to, collected from, or moved between Microsoft datacenters.
All packaging will have a minimum of 50% recycled content
100% of all packaging will be reusable, recyclable, or compostable
Eliminate single use plastics in all cloud packaging in our datacenters
Packaging weight reduction by a minimum of 10% from Dec 2020 baseline
Azure sustainability
We are committed to driving low impact, resilient cloud innovation as we grow in order to promote a greener future and give back to the communities where we operate.
Sustainability at Microsoft
Microsoft Cloud sustainable packaging goals align with our wider sustainability commitments and sustainable sourcing strategy.
Carbon reduction
We have an ambitious science-based target of a 55% reduction of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emission by 2030 from our 2020 baseline.
Zero waste
We aim to eliminate our direct waste footprint and attain accreditation across our data centers. This requires diversion of waste streams by over 90% from landfill and incineration by 2030.
Single use plastic elimination
We are dedicated to eliminating single use plastics in packaging by 2025.
