Samsung Electronics Wins Masterpiece Award, the Highest Honor for 'Green Products'

Three Consecutive Years of Corporate Awards... 15 Products Selected

Samsung Electronics announced on the 26th that it received the Green Masterpiece Award, the highest corporate award, at the '2023 Korea Green Product of the Year' ceremony. It was reported that 15 products including home appliances, TVs, and smartphones were selected as green products.

The Masterpiece Award is given only to companies that have received the Green Product Award for more than 11 years. This means it is an award that cannot be received without producing high-quality eco-friendly and high-efficiency products. Samsung Electronics has received this award for three consecutive years, recognizing its achievements in developing green products and promoting green purchasing.

The green products selected include 15 items such as the Bespoke Grande Washing Machine AI, Bespoke Grande Dryer AI, Bespoke Hood, Neo QLED 8K, Galaxy S23 series, and Galaxy Book3 Pro 360. These products in the fields of home appliances, TVs, smartphones, and laptops have improved energy efficiency and applied recycled materials.

The Bespoke Grande Washing Machine AI 25kg model has 20% higher energy efficiency than products rated as Grade 1 in energy consumption efficiency. It introduced the 'Microplastic Reduction Course' developed in collaboration with the global outdoor brand Patagonia. Running this course reduces microplastic emissions generated from fabrics.

The Bespoke Grande Dryer AI is a Grade 1 energy consumption efficiency product for all 2023 models. Through the enhanced 'AI Customized Drying' function, it detects internal temperature and humidity with precise sensors. It controls the device at optimal temperature and time, reducing energy consumption and drying time.

The Bespoke Hood, also selected for the Consumer Popularity Award, quickly removes cooking odors with high airflow. It features a smart mode that automatically adjusts wind strength according to the concentration of fine dust generated during cooking. It introduced a stainless steel filter that can be easily washed with water.

Eight types of Bespoke appliances, including the Bespoke Grande AI washing machine, dryer, and hood, can further reduce energy consumption by using SmartThings Energy's 'AI Saving Mode.' SmartThings is Samsung Electronics' smart home platform.

The Neo QLED 8K uses recycled materials from marine-collected waste PET bottles for the solar cell remote cover of the TV. It reduced carbon emissions compared to the previous year's equivalent model. It received carbon reduction certification from the UK certification body Carbon Trust.

The Galaxy S23 utilized the largest variety of recycled materials among all Galaxy smartphones to date. In the case of the Galaxy S23 Ultra, in addition to recycled plastics from discarded fishing nets and used water bottles used in the previous model, recycled plastics from waste PET bottles, aluminum recycled from by-products generated during the manufacturing process, and glass recycled from by-product glass were developed and additionally applied.

The Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 reduced its standard annual power consumption by 5.2% compared to a similar model last year. It applied an algorithm that extends battery life, reducing resource consumption by prolonging the battery usage period for consumers.

The Green Product Award is an award where the environmental improvement effects of products are directly evaluated by experts and consumers. More than 20 consumer and environmental organizations nationwide and about 400 consumers participate as evaluators to select products that possess eco-friendliness and marketability.
