ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ — LG Electronics USA, the Englewood Cliffs, NJ subsidiary of appliance manufacturer LG Electronics, Inc., has been recognized for leadership in sustainable materials management by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the company announced.
LG received the EPA’s Product Champion Award in recognition for “demonstrating significant environmental, social and economic outcomes that go above and beyond the requirements of the EPA’s SMM Electronics Challenge,” the company said.
“LG strives to make products with greener features that reduce environmental impacts throughout the product’s lifecycle,” the company said. “The EPA SMM Product Champion Award spotlights soundbar innovations that help reduce environmental impact and are designed to be easier to disassemble and recycle.”
