Imagine a world with no waste.
That's what we strive for with our sustainable cycle.
We're recycling existing materials and inventing
entirely new ones to create sustainable products
that can last a lifetime.
Green goes full circle
The sustainable cycle focuses on environmental factors throughout the
entire product lifecycle, ensuring sustainable and responsible practices.
Use materials with lower environmental
impact such as eco-certified steel and
recycled plastic
Develop sustainable products to reduce
environmental impact such as
energy-efficient products
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions in manufacturing,
expand usage of renewable energy and minimize
waste to landfill
Use eco-conscious materials like recycled
paper and reused Expanded Polystyrene
(EPS)
Reduce indirect greenhouse gas
emissions with energy-efficient products
Expand e-waste collection amount and
resource recycling by material from e-waste
Sustainable e-waste
management program
Help reduce the amount of e-waste that ends up in landfills and minimize your
impact on the environment, by recycling your old electronics responsibly through our
e-waste program.
LG provides e-waste collection and processing services reflecting the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive and the requirements of each country. We've expanded our service to 89 regions in 52 countries. (as of the end of 2022)
We collect large-sized electronic waste by installation specialists visiting customers' homes if the customers request for collection. As well as, we're making it easier than ever to recycle small-sized electronic waste, which has a relatively low recovery rate compared to large appliances. We can collect small-sized e-waste through a designated recovery box at our service center.
Redefining recyclable
LG recycling center collects old appliances, separates their
materials, and recycles them into new LG products, creating
a virtuous cycle of resource use and disposal.
LG Electronics pursues a ‘sustainable cycle’ that actively practices eco-friendliness throughout the entire lifecycle of home appliances, ranging from product manufacturing to packaging, use, and disposal. Through these processes, we contribute to reducing carbon emissions by extracting new resources from discarded home appliances and using them for the exterior of products or parts.
The Chilseo recycling center removes mechanical and plastic parts from appliances. Materials are then sorted for recycling. A patented system automates the process, increasing efficiency and safety.
After disassembling the components of collected e-waste, we shred them into uniform sizes.
We select raw materials that can be recycled from disassembled and shredded e-waste. Steel that sticks to magnets is sorted first, followed by aluminum, copper, and plastic. Waste plastic is transformed into resin pellets, a raw material for recycled plastic, through an additional process.
The resin pellets are melted to become recycled plastics for producing LG Electronics’ new products.
Better for earth.
Better for us.
We're dedicated to being
environmentally responsible and creating
better technologies For the planet.
We hope you support our mission.
