What is Circular Data Centre Compass ?

The Circular Data Centre Compass (CDCC) enable users to choose from the following tool options: Compare, Ecodesign Evaluator and End-of-life to assess their servers at various stages of their life.

All options were developed in line with the EU Circular Economy Action Plan 2020 and other eco-design directives and regulations as well as the empirical data collected by CEDaCI from the material breakdown and assessment of various server models.
