Reducing CO21 and Measured CO22 Certifications from Carbon Trust
LG OLED TVs have received Reducing CO2 and Measured CO2 certifications from the Carbon Trust for the sixth consecutive year, with certification types varying by model size and region. The G6 83-, 77- and 65-inch models earned Reducing CO2 certification, while the G6 55-inch model secured Reducing CO2 certification outside Europe and Measured CO2 certification within Europe.
The Carbon Trust, an independent climate consultancy focused on supporting the transition to a zero-carbon future, assesses carbon emissions across a product’s entire lifecycle, including materials, production, use and end-of-life. LG OLED TVs contribute to carbon reduction by utilizing self-emissive technology that eliminates the need for a backlight and reduces the number of components and materials.
