Samsung Ensures Sustainability in Signage Solutions
As part of Samsung’s “Together for Tomorrow” vision, the company has applied recycled materials in its selected monitor and digital signage products to minimize resource waste.
Samsung Electronics has deployed new environmental sustainability processes and initiatives, including low-impact product manufacturing practices and resource acquisition at the recent Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2022 which was held in Barcelona.
These new changes join the company’s existing efforts to reduce its environmental footprint across its product portfolio.
“We are committed to ensuring everyday sustainability throughout our signage portfolio and playing a major role in reimagining a better planet,” said Hyesung Ha, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “As we are grateful for the recognition of our efforts, we plan to make each step count as collective change production practices for a sustainable future,” he added.
As part of Samsung’s “Together for Tomorrow” vision, the company has applied recycled materials in its selected monitor and digital signage products to minimize resource waste.
Samsung is now using more recycled materials in its monitor and digital signage products, including the rear cover of its monitors and digital signage to increase resource circularity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
To improve both resource and energy efficiency, Samsung is using an 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, 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 had been announced as the winner of ‘Sustainability Innovation of the Year’ at the AV News Awards on 10 May.
