TVs LG Electronics has adopted the Life Cycle Assessment [LCA] system for its product development and carries out the development of its eco-products in stages. TVs LG Electronics' Plasma TV is an environmentally friendly TV that has greatly reduced its part-count by adopting a single-scan method during production. Right from the outset, back in the planning and development stage, this innovative television was designed to reduce resource consumption. And many of its components were designed to be recyclable. Coated in non-flammable materials to prevent the leakage of hazardous gases (as in case of fire), this product is also designed to be easy to disassemble-a trait partly intended to facilitate the recycling process. The company has also improved the TV's light efficiency while enhancing the circuit components and designs, and reducing energy consumption. In addition, the company has improved the TV's safety by eliminating the use of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, PBB and PBDE, and the additive DecaBDE. Ecology Plasma TV LG launches worldwide brand management strategy The company will work closely with its global networks to present the brand campaign direction for each subsidiary besides sharing and benchmarking marketing successes to improve global brand campaigns.
