LG Electronics has introduced its art works made from recycled OLED TV packaging boxes as part of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) management in an event held in Lagos.
The company said in a statement that with the product, it has continued to show its commitment to protecting the planet and delivering a better life for all by reducing the environmental impact of its innovations at every stage of the product lifecycle.
In her opening speech at the event, founder and CEO of CYCDI, Ms. Foluke Michael said the journey to revert the global situation by turning challenges into opportunities has begun and everyone everywhere must be involved to ACT for the planet.
“The goal of a livable planet is achievable if the government, decision makers, businesses, students, and individuals can transition from current realities and behaviour to a more climate-friendly society. We aim to create a minimum of five million green entrepreneurs across Africa through Entrepreneurship Network Marketing by September 25, 2030. The goal was activated with the launch of Naija Climate Now and Tress from Art between 2021 and 2022,’’she said.
Also speaking on ‘Pathway to Clean Energy, Environmental Protection and Waste to Wealth,’ at the event,head of Corporate Marketing, LG Electronics West African Operations, Mr. Hari Elluru said LG Electronics is focusing on developing innovations across Sustainability for the Environment.
He said, “We are committed to providing electronic products that help customers live better and to support this, we are constantly developing new initiatives to support our Green Product Strategy. The participating artists and Influencers went beyond the simple recycling of TV and Air Conditioner packaging boxes, reprocessed them and upcycled them into completely new works of art, in line with the exhibition concept of ‘giving waste a new value and turning it into an asset’. In fact, if you look at the materials and shapes of the works exhibited this time, there are many things that are so elaborately made that they do not appear to have been made using packaging boxes.’’
