View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] LG Electronics recently received recognition for its sustainable eco-friendly competitiveness at the ‘2021 SMM Awards’ hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
On the 4th, LG Electronics announced that it received the ‘Gold Tier,’ the highest honor awarded to outstanding companies in the ‘Tier’ award category, which evaluates corporate recycling activity performance. The company was recognized for its active efforts in collecting used home appliances and delivering them entirely to certified recycling companies, a process that positively impacted the environment.
Additionally, LG Soundbars won the ‘Champion’ award in the eco-friendly product category. LG Soundbars (model numbers: SP11RA, SP9YA, SP8YA, SP7Y, SPD7Y, QP5) were highly rated for reducing greenhouse gas emissions during the design and manufacturing processes and for using recycled materials in both the product body and packaging.
The ‘SMM Awards’ are presented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to encourage sustainable resource management activities. The awards are divided into two categories: the Champion Award, which selects excellent eco-friendly products and new technologies, and the Tier Award, which is given in three levels based on corporate recycling activity performance.
