LG Display, in collaboration with Hanwha Solutions, has developed eco-friendly cushioning packaging for electronic components using Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) materials.
LG Display focused on optimising the design and verifying performance, while Hanwha Solutions refined and processed the raw materials using its proprietary technology. After two years of continuous research and development, the team developed eco-friendly packaging that maintains the same quality as conventional materials.
The recently developed cushioning packaging material, designed to protect display panels, incorporates plastic certified by the globally recognised environmental certification body, Control Union. The material has earned the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certification.
By implementing this eco-friendly cushioning packaging, LG Display is reducing annual carbon emissions by 520 tons. This reduction accounts for approximately 40% of previous emissions, equivalent to planting nearly 57,000 30-year-old pine trees.
