Response to Circular Economy Act

6 Nov 2025

Lenovo welcomes the Commissions ambition to develop a Circular Economy Act (CEA) as a unifying framework to deliver the objectives of the Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan, and the recently adopted Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). As one of the worlds largest technology manufacturers with extensive operations, service and repair networks in the EU, Lenovo strongly supports a European framework that is harmonised, digital by default, and outcomes-based. Lenovos experience in large-scale repair, refurbishment and asset-recovery operations shows that harmonised EU rules and fair fiscal treatment can both accelerate reuse and reduce waste, supporting the Green Deals resource-efficiency goals. For businesses investing in circular solutions, the key barrier remains fragmentation, including different national EPR designs, reporting formats, and end-of-waste decisions that raise costs and slow innovation. The CEA can address this by focusing on three core enablers: A single EU circular system grounded in harmonised EPR and WEEE rules, supported by digital product-information tools under the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and its Digital Product Passport (DPP). Trusted material and product data enabling secondary raw-material (SRM) and critical raw-material (CRM) markets to function at scale. Demand-side incentives and fiscal clarity that make circular business models the default, not the exception. Across these areas, Lenovo calls for measures that build on existing EU legislation rather than add parallel schemes, using digitalisation and standardisation to simplify compliance and ensure proportionate enforcement.

Response to Promoting sustainability in consumer after-sales

24 May 2023

Lenovo is a leading global technology company that designs and manufactures innovative personal computers, mobile devices, and data center solutions. As a company deeply committed to sustainability, Lenovo is fully supportive of the objectives and goals of the proposal for a Directive on common rules promoting the repair of goods. Several aspects of the proposal will support the transition to a truly circular economy. The introduction of new consumer rights supporting easy and effective repairs will help foster environmentally responsible practices while benefiting consumers. Lenovo already offers a comprehensive range of customer support services, including repair, replacement parts and detailed repair guides for many of its products. This approach facilitates a convenient repair experience for both consumers and repair professionals, contributing to the overall ease of maintaining and extending the lifespan of Lenovo devices, beyond the warranty period of products. We also welcome the European Commissions intention to develop a voluntary European quality standard for repair services. The standard would enable EU consumers to easily identify and engage with repairers who commit to a higher quality. In this regard, we encourage the European Commission to set a clear timeframe for the development of this standard, with reliability as the primary consideration. However, we also recognize that the European Commission's proposal might give rise to unforeseen repercussions for both consumers and companies like Lenovo, including heightened financial burdens and new overlapping or contradictory requirements. It is essential to evaluate the potential trade-offs and examine the long-term implications of the proposal to ensure that the overall objective of promoting sustainability and consumer benefits is not compromised by the increased costs and compliance hurdles encountered by businesses. To develop standards that are beneficial, achievable, and effective, we suggest considering the following recommendations: 1. Exclude Internet of Things (IoT) and business-to-business (B2B) products from the scope of the proposal. 2. Include refurbishment options to prevent overproduction and promote increased re-use. 3. Clarify that manufacturers and sellers can comply with information requirements by making compulsory information available online.
