Lenovo Now Offers PC Refurbishment Program

Lenovo is rolling out a new solution to help customers extend the lifecycle of their devices. Through Lenovo Certified Refurbished, organizations can deploy refurbished PCs that cater to different computing needs and help manage their IT carbon footprint. Lenovo TruScale Device as a Service (DaaS) customers will also have more options to optimize their IT mix according to their economic and business needs, and with circularity in mind. Only Lenovo and accredited partners will offer the Lenovo certification.

“Environmental sustainability is a leading concern for businesses of every size, in every sector,” says Claudia Contreras, executive director of Global Sustainability Services for Lenovo. “Lenovo Certified Refurbished extends the lifecycle of our technology to improve ROI and help reduce waste, offering a solution that provides customers a purchase option to help support a more sustainable future. Certified Refurbished will help reduce e-waste, give devices new life, and positively contribute to the circular economy.”

Lenovo is committed to implementing circular practices at every stage of the IT lifecycle. Through the Lenovo 360 Circle community, channel partners are also aligned with collaborative actions to drive circular outcomes for customers and build a more sustainable future, Lenovo says.

Lenovo’s 2023 Global Study of CIOs found that 60% of chief information officers are turning towards as-a-service (aaS) offerings for their tech stacks, including for sustainability management, and 62% said they find it challenging for their organization to reach sustainability goals. Outcome-based consumption models like Lenovo TruScale DaaS help businesses efficiently manage services, cost reduction and waste reduction through a single source with the flexibility to scale as needed.

“Along with unified program management and streamlined financing, Lenovo TruScale DaaS offers lifecycle transformation approaches—including IT carbon footprint management and e-waste reduction—that help drive circularity and move customers closer to their sustainability goals while also helping to improve productivity and cost considerations. We’re excited to extend TruScale DaaS benefits to include options like Lenovo Certified Refurbished and help make IT circularity more achievable for customers,” says Anupam Garg, Lenovo Digital Workplace Solutions Offering Development leader.

Lenovo Certified Refurbished PCs undergo comprehensive data sanitization; expert testing to meet Lenovo’s quality, security, and performance standards; and transparent, consistent quality grading. Access to Lenovo’s global support network provides added assurance that there is no compromise on security safeguards or PC performance, and that the refurbished devices will have a productive operational life with up to 3 years of standard warranty (with the option to upgrade).

Lenovo Certified Refurbished PCs will be available initially in Denmark, France, Germany, and the U.K., with a planned global rollout. Lenovo Certified Refurbished is the latest in a series of Lenovo offerings that aid customers in their sustainability journeys. Learn more about Lenovo’s Sustainability Solutions.
