Lotte Chemical Advanced Materials Receives Global Environmental Product Declaration Certification

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Lotte Chemical announced on the 14th that its compound product GC-1214 received Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification from UL, a global safety and environmental certification organization. The certified product is a representative material of the advanced materials business applying PCM PC, a recycled plastic raw material, and reduces carbon dioxide emissions during the production process by about 15% compared to general products. It has a property that makes it difficult to burn even when ignited, and is widely used in large home appliances. It has been applied to the back cover of Samsung Electronics' signage TV.

The company explained the background of obtaining this certification by stating, "Global customer interest in environmental issues and eco-friendly certifications is increasing, and requests regarding carbon dioxide emissions based on the evaluation of the entire product production process are continuously rising."

UL, which provides safety-related technology certification services, is considered the most credible institution worldwide. Without certification or qualification from this organization, it is difficult to enter the materials market. Lee Young-jun, head of Lotte Chemical's advanced materials business, said, "We will develop materials and solutions that meet customer needs to further enhance the global competitiveness of the advanced materials business."
