ThinkPad and the circular economy
Lenovo’s design and engineering teams spend thousands of hours researching innovations in manufacturing, materials, energy efficiency, servicing and packaging to continue to produce ever more sustainable products. Lenovo remains focused in investing in a resilient and more sustainable global supply chain by increasing the use of sustainable aviation fuel and biofuels for shipping, installing renewable energy in its factories and adopting state of the art energy efficient manufacturing processes to help reduce carbon emissions.
The company is also encouraging its customers to meet their own sustainability goals through the provision of services such as CO2 Offset Service which has already offset more than 1-million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide from their purchases of Think PCs, and Asset Recovery Service which has been helping customers with their end-of-life technology hardware disposal for the past 15 years.
Following the launch of refreshed ThinkPad X1 laptops in December 2022, the rest of the ThinkPad portfolio introduces updated and new models that further enhance one of the most comprehensive laptop portfolios available. The increased use of more recycled materials and Post Consumer Content (PCC) plastic in select components is in line with Lenovo’s continued focus on supporting a circular economy and Lenovo’s goal to integrate post-consumer recycled content into 100% of PC products by 2025.
