China

In line with the EU WEEE Directive, the Chinese government is preparing for legislation that will oblige producers to take back and recycle end-of-life mobile phones (Draft of Management Regulations on Recycling and Disposal of Waste and Used Household Electrical Appliances). Once more specific enforcement is underway, LG Electronics will work hard to fulfill its responsibilities as a producer and will make contributions to the preservation of the environment in China as well as to the safety of Chinese consumers.

Green Box Campaign
