Tempest’s Commitment to Sustainability
At Tempest, our mission is to create high-quality products that leave a lasting, positive impact on our planet. We’re committed to minimizing waste through thoughtful design, responsible packaging, and an innovative approach to hardware recycling.
Tempest Hardware Recycling Program
While Tempest hardware is designed to last ten years or more, you’ll eventually need or want to replace it. Rather than throw your Tempest into the trash, we encourage you to find an electronics recycling facility near you. If one does not exist, you can participate in our Recycling Program.

Once we receive your old Tempest Weather Station at our Returns Center, our local recycling partners will pick it up and break everything down into its core elements—plastics, lithium, aluminum, gold, copper, and more. These raw materials are then refined and recycled into clean commodities, ensuring that as much of your old Tempest as possible finds a new purpose. Only a small, non-recyclable portion is responsibly disposed of in a well-managed landfill.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
We’ve partnered with Cruz Foam to incorporate packaging crafted from recyclable, biodegradable and compostable materials that protect your Tempest with a low impact on the environment. Produced domestically, they are shipped over land rather than flown over the ocean, which means less waste and a more sustainable delivery to your door. The foam can be composted, while the cardboard is recyclable. Cruz Foam is made primarily of food waste, so if composting is not available in your area, it will quickly decompose in a landfill.
Reducing Tech Waste
While the majority of Tempest owners prefer to view their data in the Tempest Weather App, or use one of the many third-party integrations available, we understand that some folks prefer a standalone weather display. Designed with our planet in mind, we encourage users who want a dedicated display to repurpose an old iPad or Android tablet. To make this transition seamless, each Tempest system optionally includes a stylish tablet stand, made in the USA from renewable bamboo, allowing users to give new life to their existing devices while reducing unnecessary tech waste.
