Lenovo Takes Environmental Responsibility – 250,000 Tons of IT Equipment Reused

To minimize waste and protect the environment, Lenovo is committed to recycling in everything they do. From batteries to obsolete products and energy to packaging – they have programs and improvement measures in place across all activities, including strict checks and audits of third-party suppliers. Since 2005, they have processed over 250,000 tons of components through their environmental agreement partners.

Efficient Management of Obsolete IT Equipment – With the Environment in Focus

Their system for managing obsolete products (PELM: Product End of Life Management) includes disassembly, reuse, refurbishment, reproduction, recycling, destruction, recycling, processing, and disposal of products and components when they are taken out of use, expire, or are discarded. This includes both Lenovo-branded and non-branded products that are owned or approved by Lenovo. In 2018, we funded and managed the processing of over 40,300 tons of Lenovo-owned data equipment and equipment returned from customers. Of these, 2.8% were reused as products or parts, 91.7% were recycled as materials, 3.2% were destroyed through waste-to-energy conversion, 1.1% were destroyed as discarded, and 1.2% were disposed of in landfills. As part of Lenovo’s continuous improvement measures, we are always looking for opportunities for maximum reuse and recycling, read more here..
