Looking For Help - Sustainable Sourcing of Parts

Community Support
1

I came across framework and appreciate their mission for reparability and upgradability as I am looking to build a sustainable computer.

I am considering sourcing sustainable parts and installing them in a framework machine.

How do I assure that the parts I am sourcing are sustainable? Do you have any recommendations?

I only right now know to look for either TCO (Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees) Certified or RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) labels. But what else should I consider?

I mean, can’t get more sustainable than buying used – and doing so doesn’t really financially benefit the companies that made the part. And it’s cheap, too. Reuse comes before recycle for a good reason.
