Lenovo suppliers providing product reuse and recycling services meet Lenovo's qualification and audit requirements. Lenovo strongly encourages all reuse and recycling suppliers to achieve accredited third-party certifications to ISO 14001, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, and recycling standards, such as Responsible Recycling (R2) and e-Stewards. Lenovo's audit assesses a supplier's conformance to the Lenovo Electronics End of Life Standard for Suppliers.

Lenovo and its reuse and recycling suppliers are not responsible for any data or information left on equipment returned to Lenovo or its suppliers. We recommend customers use a commercially available data-erasing software application to ensure data is removed from the machine's hard drive prior to recycling it.
