Certification From Respected Bodies Highlights
LG’s Continuing Commitment to Sustainability and a Better Life for All

SEOUL, April 25, 2023 — LG Electronics (LG) today announced that its 2023 OLED evo series TVs have acquired Reducing CO21 and Measured CO22 certifications from the Carbon Trust3 and environmental labels4 from Société Générale de Surveillance SA (SGS) for the third consecutive year. The esteemed recognitions point to LG’s ongoing ESG efforts for plastic waste reduction.
The Carbon Trust is a global climate consultancy created to accelerate the move to a ‘Net Zero’ future, while SGS is a leading global testing organization dedicated to certifying environmentally sustainable products. Both institutions inspected the entire product stage from production and delivery to disposal.
Models in the LG OLED evo series boast lighter weight and stronger durability, applying composite fiber material5 and metal. These materials contribute to less plastic use, with the LG OLED evo series TVs requiring only 40 percent of the plastic that is used in LCD TVs of the same screen size. Thanks to these efforts, LG has effectively curbed its plastic use by 20,000 tons this year.
Thanks to the composite fiber material, select models from the latest OLED evo series are around 20 percent lighter than an LCD TV of the same screen size,6 contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions in transit. Additionally, the back cover of LG OLED evo models, QNED TVs and NanoCell TVs released in 2023 are completed with recycled plastic material which uses more than 30 percent of used plastic. With such efforts, it is expected that LG will achieve a waste plastic recycling effect amounting to 3,200 tons yearly, regarding TV products alone.
Additionally, LG OLED TVs are made with fewer components than conventional LCD TVs. The smaller number of parts required for each LG OLED product is a result of the TVs’ unique, self-lit display technology, which removes the need for a separate backlighting structure. A reduced parts count also means fewer resources used per unit, as well as less plastic and e-waste to contend with at the end of the TVs’ operational life.
“The LG OLED evo series are designed to ensure that viewers can enjoy immersive viewing experiences, while reducing impact in all production stages for a greener, healthier environment at the same time,” said Baik Sun-pil, leader of the LG Home Entertainment Company’s Product Development Division. “LG will continue to pursue a broad range of ESG initiatives and responsible practices, as the firm leader of the OLED TV market.”
Since its initial launch in 2013, LG OLED has continuously raised the industry bar, introducing pioneering display technologies such as OLED evo and groundbreaking form factors including the world’s first rollable TV, LG SIGNATURE OLED R, as well as the bendable LG OLED Flex. This year, which marks the 10th anniversary of LG OLED, sees several new additions to LG’s diverse lineup of self-lit TVs, headlined by the stunning models from the 2023 OLED evo series. LG OLED evo series TVs are currently available in 125 countries worldwide.
LG has earned a place in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) for 11 consecutive years and has received the ‘Comprehensive A grade’ from the ESG Evaluation and Rating Announcement of Korea ESG Standards Institute (KCGS) for 2 consecutive years.

HBO ‘Actively Exploring’ Chromecast Options

How would you like a little HBO GO with your Google Chromecast?

HBO is looking into the possibility of streaming HBO GO to the $35 Chromecast dongle, which lets users send content from their mobile device to the TV.

“We are actively exploring supporting Chromecast as another way for our subscribers to enjoy HBO GO, but at this point we can’t comment on specific plans regarding timing,” HBO spokeswoman Laura Young said in an email to PCMag.

HBO GO offers subscribers unlimited access to HBO content on their iPad, iPhone, Apple TV, Android device, Kindle Fire, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, or Xbox 360. If HBO GO makes its way to Chromecast users will, of course, need a subscription to view HBO programming.

Out of the box, Chromecast works with Netflix, YouTube, Google Play Movies & TV, Google Play Music, and support for Pandora is coming soon. But according to a new report from GigaOM (Opens in a new window) , Vimeo and Redbox Instant are also headed to Chromecast. In addition, makers of the Plex media center are also exploring plans to support the Google dongle.

Google unveiled Chromecast last Wednesday alongside its new Nexus 7 tablet. The popularity of the device prompted the company to quickly end a promotion offering three months of free Netflix with purchase of a dongle.

Meanwhile, the teardown experts at iFixit recently broke out their special plastic opening tool to prise open the Chromecast at the seam on its side to see what makes this gadget tick. Unlike the site’s reports on most mobile devices and PCs, the Chromecast teardown doesn’t include a repairability score, which makes sense — you’re not going to be replacing or upgrading any parts in this tiny dongle.
