Lenovo has introduced Lenovo Certified Refurbishment Services which are available in EMEA. The service 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.
Most businesses still follow a binary model for their device lifecycle and refresh strategies: extend the warranty or buy new. However, Lenovo’s Certified Refurbishment Services introduce a third option, refurbishing existing Lenovo devices to be reused or repurposed internally, to avoid premature retirements and help maximise investment.
With IT budgets under pressure and sustainability goals rising to the top of corporate agendas, businesses across Europe are seeking smarter ways to extend device value while reducing environmental impact. Lenovo’s new Certified Refurbishment Services fulfill that need, enabling organisations to refurbish and redeploy existing Lenovo devices with OEM-certified quality, renewed warranties, and lower carbon costs.
Now available in 14 European markets*, the solution 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.
“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.”
As part of the refurbishment approach, devices can be easily upgraded with additional RAM (Random Access Memory), allowing businesses to boost performance without replacing hardware. New purchases can be prioritised for high-performance users or emerging technologies such as AI PCs, while refurbished units continue to deliver reliable performance for everyday roles.
Used assets can now be redeployed after staff departures as ‘good-as-new’ devices, supported by industry-standard data wipes and full cosmetic refurbishment. This means the device will look, perform, and be supported just like a new one.
The result is a more cost-efficient, flexible, and sustainable IT strategy that keeps teams productive and budgets under control.
