Lenovo going a bit greener: monitor packaging to be re-usable

by John Hobbes , posted 10/16/09 1:09 PM

Lenovo just let out a tweet, indicating that the plastic packaging typically wrapped around a desktop LCD monitor will be replaced by a re-usable bag on an upcoming ThinkVision monitor. A picture of the bag was included:
