Talking on stage at the Canalys EMEA Forum 2023, Lenovo senior vice president Luca Rossi said the company has committed to a net zero emission policy by 2050, and analysing the components used in its hardware is part of the equation.

"On repairability, we have a plan that by 2025, more than 80 per cent of the repair parts will be repaired again so that they enter into the circular economy to reduce the impact on the environment."

He added: "More than 80 per cent of our devices will be able to be repaired at the customer, by the customer or by the channel, and we are enabling this with a design for serviceability kind of approach." This means that "batteries, SSD, many things, will no longer be sealed into the product but will be available for the customer to be to repaired on-site and then save a lot of waste."
