In 2024, Lenovo Group generated a total of 48,452metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 87.43% of Lenovo Group's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 12.57% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.a
In 2024, Lenovo Group reported a total waste generation of 48,452 metric tonnes, of which 87.43% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting.This high recovery rate suggests that Lenovo Group has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management.a
Since 2020, Lenovo Group's total waste generation increased by 12.43%, but declined by 5.18% in the year 2024, suggesting a potential shift toward more efficient material use or the early impact of waste reduction strategies.a
Over the same period, Lenovo Group's waste recovery rate remained relatively stable.a
In 2024, Lenovo Group generated a total of 48,452 metric tonnes of waste.a
Of this amount, 1.39% of Lenovo Group's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment.98.61% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.a
Since 2020, Lenovo Group's total waste generation rose by 12.43%, but dropped by 5.18% in 2024, indicating a possible turning point driven by improved waste-reduction practices or production slowdowns.a
Over the same period, the share of hazardous waste in Lenovo Group's total output increased by 707.74%, including a further 4.38% rise in 2024, suggesting a troubling upward shift toward more environmentally harmful waste streams that could raise compliance costs and environmental risks.a
