Lenovo says it’s leading the PC industry in offering the most PC products that use post-consumer recycled materials. According to the company, these products also contain a higher percentage of post-consumer recycled content than competitors’ offerings.

In 2008, Lenovo used more than 2.2 million pounds of post-consumer recycled plastics in its PCs.

Based on EPEAT data, Lenovo says it offers the most number of EPEAT Gold-rated products overall – a total of 69 products – with those products containing the highest amounts of recycled content. Lenovo points to select ThinkCentre desktops that it says use up to 27 percent post-consumer recycled polymers. And Lenovo’s ThinkStation D20 workstation uses nearly 30 percent post consumer content.
