Lenovo has been focused on sustainability for years now, but its recent innovations are going continuing to push forward.
From ThinkPad to Yoga, the look and feel of Lenovo laptops have always been in flux. But what has been maintained, according to Lenovo, is a longstanding ethos of making the highest quality products with the least environmental impact.
Devices, and even accessories such as USB-C to HDMI and RJ45 cables, are also housed in linen bags made of bamboo and sugarcane fiber instead of plastic. Cardboard bumpers that keep products in place are made of the same materials. Beyond that, Lenovo is making efforts to make its entire packaging plastic-free, putting detail into changing twist ties from plastic-coated to paper-coated and using paper-based security labels as opposed to plastic.
The covers for laptops in the Legion gaming series are made of the fuselage or the carbon fiber innards of airplanes. Using reclaimed waste material sourced from Boeing, the bits are hammered down into patterns that ultimately make the covers unique to each model. Similarly, the cover of the ThinkPad Z13 was created from woven stalks of flaxseed plants and bonded in a biodegradable resin.
Having done a consumer study of repair preferences, Lenovo learned that repairability was important to most consumers when considering a laptop for purchase. Delving deeper into these thoughts, the company found 60% preferred repairs to be done by manufacturers, while 20% preferred some sort of DIY option.
Dell’s Project Luna might be the most fully realized concept of sustainable, repairable laptops that we currently have. But Lenovo seems to be determined to not get left behind in this regard. With components expected to quickly increase in specs and power capacity in the coming years, any methods for power reduction and efficiency are welcome by organizations utilizing supercomputers.
