The WEEE marking on Lenovo products applies only to
countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances
are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC
concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
The Directive determines the framework for the return
and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout
the European Union. This label is applied to various products
to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away,
but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive. |
In Canada, Lenovo participates in the Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation’s (RBRC) “Call2Recycle” program.
Rechargeable batteries from Lenovo products such as lithium
ion batteries in laptops can be recycled free of charge at
any of the RBRC’s more than 30,000 drop off locations in the
US and Canada. For more information about the RBRC’s Call2Recycle
program and to locate a battery recycling location near you,
