Ahead of the EU’s planned Circular Economy Act, Lenovo is helping organisations align refresh strategies with circular economy principles with the launch of a new addition to its IT sustainability and lifecycle solutions portfolio. Available in EMEA, Lenovo Certified Refurbishment Services gives organisations the ability to refurbish their existing Lenovo devices, restoring useful life and enabling redeployment to deliver cost savings, maximise IT budgets and reduce e-waste.
Certified Refurbishment Services offers a powerful IT lifecycle management option, bridging the gap between extending warranties and full hardware replacement. By restoring devices for internal reuse, businesses can unlock untapped value from their existing tech and avoid premature retirements. In addition, the solution supports the meeting of targets including the EU Green Deal – which aims to cut emissions by at least 50% by 2030 – and the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, mandating ESG disclosures by businesses.
“European organisations are looking for practical ways to meet sustainability targets without slowing innovation or increasing costs,” said Greg Smith, Executive Director and General Manager, EMEA Solutions and Services Group at Lenovo. “As EU mandates require organisations to rethink their technology strategies, Certified Refurbishment Services help reduce IT carbon footprint, optimise resources, and meet sustainable procurement goals while building long-term value and resilience along the way.”
