Mobile Phones

Electronics has adopted the Life Cycle Assessment [LCA] system for its product development and carries out the development of its eco-products in stages.

Mobile Phones

LG has made mobile phones environmentally friendly by replacing harmful materials with healthy substitutes, at the same time increasing energy efficiency and recyclability:

• At present, no lead, cadmium, or other EU RoHS materials are used in the production of LG mobile phones. The use of nickel is also banned due to the risk of skin irritation.
• Halogen substances have been removed from all parts used in the housing, packaging, and main PCB.
• On-going research is exploring ways to make the PVC used in phone cables more eco-friendly.
• Standby power has been reduced in all phone chargers*—with current chargers offering a “reminder” feature to notifies the user when the handset is fully charged.
• EMI-shielding cans are used to improve recyclability and reduce the discharge of hazardous materials, such as VOC.
