LG Electronics announced that its premium refrigerator (600-liter models) has received International Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification. This is the second time the model has earned EPD certification, having already been recognized by EPD Norway last year. The refrigerator reduces energy consumption thanks to its advanced Inverter Linear Compressor™, vacuum insulation and an optimized refrigeration cycle.
The International EPD System is designed to quantify the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire lifecycle, including production, transportation, distribution, usage and disposal. It provides consumers with accurate and transparent information about a product’s effect on the planet, helping them to choose devices that can support their efforts to live more sustainably. Products are assessed according to international standards, which consumers can learn more about on the official EPD website.
«This latest EPD certification is symbolic of LG’s commitment to the environment and to transparency – said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company -. We will continue to acquire environmental product declaration certifications that encourage consumers to make responsible purchasing decisions, while leveraging our innovative technologies to minimize the impact of our products.»
