LG PRESENTS NEW SPACE- AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT REFRIGERATOR LINEUP AT IFA 2025

LG Electronics (LG) is unveiling its latest refrigerator lineup for the European market at IFA 2025. Designed to deliver top-tier energy efficiency, the new french door and bottom-freezer models have been developed specifically for Europe's unique housing environments and consumer lifestyles, reflecting LG's extensive research into local needs and preferences. The lineup combines energy-saving performance, smart features and space-efficient styling that integrates seamlessly into modern homes. Outstanding Energy Efficiency Responding to increased demand for energy-efficient appliances across Europe, LG is introducing models that meet – and significantly surpass – the European Union's highest ('A') energy rating. The new bottom-freezer model exceeds the requirement for the A rating, while the French door model has impressively earned an A rating, despite being in a category where such ratings are rare. LG's exceptional energy efficiency was made possible by its optimized insulation design tailored for the European market, as well as AI-based features that help reduce electricity consumption by learning household usage patterns and optimizing compressor operation during periods of low activity.

LG ADOPTS ECO-CONSCIOUS MANUFACTURING INNOVATIONS FOR 4-WAY SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONER

LG Electronics (LG) is reducing plastic consumption and carbon emissions by adopting a new material and manufacturing process for its commercial 4-way system air conditioners. Aligned with the company's Better Life for All ESG vision, these latest efforts demonstrate an unwavering commitment to minimizing environmental impacts. TÜV Rheinland, a global testing and certification organization, recently confirmed that LG's newly instituted production process has lowered carbon emissions from the manufacturing of its 4-way system air conditioners to 14.85 kilograms of CO? equivalents* per unit. Along with the shift in manufacturing method, the primary driver of this reduction is the introduction of a new material used for the air conditioners' exterior panels. Moving away from conventional plastic manufacturing techniques, LG employs a foaming injection molding process whereby nitrogen gas is injected into the mold to create bubbles within the material. This innovative approach reduces plastic use by approximately 900 grams per unit. Additionally, LG has replaced the use of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) with Polypropylene (PP), which has a lower carbon footprint. These improvements are expected to cut plastic consumption by roughly 270 tons annually and CO? equivalent carbon emissions by over 4,400 tons each year – a reduction comparable to the carbon absorbed in one year by a 30-year-old pine forest covering more than 580 soccer fields. LG began applying its foaming injection molding method to 4-way system air conditioners in June and plans to gradually expand it to other residential and commercial models. In pursuit of carbon neutrality, LG aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 54.6 percent by 2030 compared to 2017 levels, as outlined in its Sustainability Report. To reach this target, the company is integrating high-efficiency equipment into its manufacturing processes and adopting renewable energy sources to produce high-efficiency appliances leveraging its proprietary Core Tech. A prime example of Core Tech is LG's inverter motor technology, which minimizes energy waste by adjusting motor and compressor speeds in real time according to demand. The company has also advanced its environmental compliance by launching an inverter scroll chiller using R32 refrigerant, which has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) about 30 percent lower than R410A refrigerant. 'The new material and manufacturing process we've introduced for our 4-way system air conditioner underscores our efforts to minimizing environmental impacts,' said Bae Cheung-hyun, head of the System Air Conditioners Business at the LG ES Company. 'LG will continue to leverage innovative technologies to develop eco-conscious air conditioners for a healthier planet.'
