Samsung Electronics Makes Eco-Conscious Efforts With Monitor and Signage Solutions – Samsung Global Newsroom
2022 Smart Signage lineup recognized with industry-first certifications
Samsung Electronics has announced new, environmentally-sustainable processes and initiatives. These include low-impact manufacturing and resource acquisition. These new changes join the company’s existing efforts to reduce its environmental footprint across its product portfolio.
As part of Samsung’s “Together for Tomorrow” vision, the company has applied recycled materials in its select monitor and digital signage products to minimize resource waste. Samsung now uses more recycled materials for its digital signage and monitor products. This includes the back cover on its digital signage and monitors. It is doing this to reduce carbon emissions and increase resource circularity.
Digital signage solutions including the 2022 Smart Signage also received certified energy efficiency grades that rise to new industry standards. Samsung also has incorporated eco-conscious packaging featuring recycled materials in all signage products since 2021.
To improve both resource and energy efficiency, Samsung is using a SoC (System on Chip) solution that, when applied to the monitors and signage, allows content to be displayed without any additional devices, saving both waste and energy. Plus, Samsung has extended its product lifespan with enhanced durability to further minimize waste.
In recognition of its efforts for product efficiency, Samsung has earned an ENERGY STAR certification,1 in addition to an EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) certification for its energy efficiency improvements and recycled plastic use in its 2022 Smart Signage lineup (QHB, QMB, QBB).
Samsung was also the first in its industry to achieve the reducing CO2 label, certified by the Carbon Trust, for its LCD Signage lineup (LH55QHB), LED signage (LH012IWA) and Business Monitor (LS34A65). In addition, Samsung has developed and applied a new material, made with repurposed ocean-bound plastics, to the 2022 high resolution monitor S8 to reduce marine waste.
In recognition of its global 2022 sustainability initiative, which strives to incorporate environmental sustainability into everything it does, Samsung has been announced as the winner of ‘Sustainability Innovation of the Year’ at the AV News Awards on May 10.
“We want to ensure everyday sustainability in our signage portfolio, and play a significant role in reimagining the planet,” stated Hyesung H, executive vice president of Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display Business. “As we are grateful for your recognition of our efforts, we plan to make each step count while collectively changing production practices for a sustainable future.” “As we are grateful for the recognition of our efforts, we plan to make each step count while we collectively change production practices for a sustainable future.”
