What does the Energy Star® mean? tv-audio-video Buyers' Guide
LG gives its customers the opportunity to participate in greenhouse gas reduction by providing them with products that meet the U.S. government’s Energy Star® standard for energy-saving consumer products.
Energy Star is the U.S. government's international program that encourages the use of energy-saving consumer products. It was formed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1992, as part of energy-saving and greenhouse gas reduction efforts. The majority of LG Electronics' products meet the Energy Star standard. For example, the battery charger for handsets produced for the U.S. market fulfills 100% of the Energy Star requirements.
LG and Energy Efficiency
LG Electronics is one of the largest global companies of its kind. Because of this, we feel we have a social responsibility to actively take on the environmental issues that arise from the carbon output of our industry. We have implemented, and are continuing to perfect, two independent strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of our company:
1. Develop more environmentally friendly technologies in our factories
2. Continuously raise the energy efficiency of our products
LCD & Plasma TVs
Of the LCD and Plasma TVs released since 2005, some 90% satisfy the Energy Star standard, with many exceeding these requirements by more than 30-percent.
| Met | Exceeding(30%) | List | |
|---|---|---|---|
| LCD | 88% | 45% |  |
| PDP | 91% | 29% | |
We’ve also greatly reduced the number of parts in our plasma TVs by adopting a single-scan method during production. For this reason, our LCD and plasma TVs not only reduce energy consumption (saving you money on your energy bill), they also reduce their impact on the environment by employing environmentally friendly materials.
