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 CO₂ 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 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 improvements are expected to cut plastic consumption by roughly 270 tons annually and CO₂ 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 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 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.' © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba ( Signal PressWire is the world's largest independent Middle East PR distribution service.

Birth Machine? Robot designed to carry and give birth sparks ethical debate
Published August 19th, 2025 - 07:01 GMT ALBAWABA - Scientists unveiled the world's first robot that can carry life and process as a woman's womb in terms of pregnancy and giving birth, igniting wide ethical debate on social media. A huge fuss erupted following the uncovering of the first robot with an artificial womb, which is able to carry and give birth. According to the media, the robot is able to carry a fetus for 10 months in an artificial amniotic fluid environment and feed it through a tube that simulates the umbilical cord. The new tech robot was created and developed by the Chinese company "Kaiwa Technology" and it has sparked widespread controversy in scientific and ethical circles. Sci-fi has become reality. A Chinese company plans to launch the world's first artificial womb using a humanoid robot, helping babies from conception to birth. The prototype will be available next year for $13,000. — CyberRobo (@CyberRobooo) August 18, 2025 The company announced earlier the development of the world's first robot equipped with an artificial womb, capable of completing pregnancy and childbirth on behalf of women. The price of the new robot will be below 100,000 yuan ($13,900). An X user slammed the new robot by saying, "This will not work well, we haven't even fully begun to understand all the biological processes and requirements for proper gestation. We're only now finding out how C sections affect a childs immune system. I can only imagine the kinds of issues children will have when born from these prototypes." Another person commented, "A fascinating development. What are the ethical implications of outsourcing parenthood to technology?" A netizen mockingly said, "Great, Earth needs yet another 8 billion humans for sure." © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
