We are not sustainable And neither is any other device maker. This industry is full of "feel good" messaging, but generates 50 million metric tons of e-waste each year. We believe the best way to reduce environmental impact is to create products that last longer, meaning fewer new ones need to be made. Instead of operating on feels, we operate on data and actions. With funding from Intel, we commissioned Fraunhofer IZM to do a detailed life cycle analysis (LCA) on Framework Laptop 13 to help us understand where we are today and where we can continue to improve. Check out our thoughts on reducing environmental impact and download the LCA report here...

Are components replacable, repairable and upgradable because that is a pretty major thing in extending the lifetime of a device

Yes they are

yes, that's their whole selling point

The entire laptop is user serviceable, including replacing the Motherboard/CPU with a newer model, or even switching between Intel and AMD now. New 16in model will have upgradable discrete GPU.

That's their whole deal. The computer is designed to be repairable by the end user as a first principle. It's easy to disassemble, easy to replace or swap components, and they have a store where you can buy replacement or upgrade parts.
