LG’s 2023 OLED evo series TVs have acquired Reducing CO2 and Measured CO2 certifications from the Carbon Trust and environmental labels from Société Générale de Surveillance SA for the third year. The recognitions highlight LG’s ongoing ESG efforts for plastic waste reduction.
The Carbon Trust is a global climate consultancy created to accelerate the move to a “net zero” future,
while SGS is a leading global testing organisation dedicated to certifying environmentally sustainable products. Both institutions inspected the entire product stage, from production and delivery to disposal.
Models in the LG OLED evo series boast lighter weight and stronger durability, applying composite fibre material and metal. These materials contribute to less plastic use, with the LG OLED evo series TVs requiring just 40 per cent of the plastic that is used in LCD TVs of the same screen size.
Thanks to these efforts, LG has effectively curbed its plastic use by 20,000 tons this year.
Thanks to the composite fibre material, select models from the latest OLED evo series are around 20 per cent lighter than an LCD TV of the same screen size, contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions in transit.
Added to this, the back cover of LG OLED evo models, QNED TVs and NanoCell TVs released in 2023 are completed with recycled plastic material which uses more than 30 per cent of used plastic.
With such efforts, it is expected that LG will achieve a waste plastic recycling effect amounting to 3,200 tons yearly, regarding TV products alone.
