Circularity begins with design, and at LG we already work with more sustainable materials and solutions that extend the life of our devices.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Producers also have the ability to lead new consumption models \u2013 offering refurbishment services, take-back programmes for old devices and shared-economy initiatives. At the same time, building partnerships with other industry stakeholders and supporting awareness campaigns helps scale practical solutions and move towards a more responsible, resource-efficient model.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1759748576442{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”]What barriers hinder consumer involvement in WEEE recycling and how can they be overcome? <\/p>\n Many consumers still do not know what to do with their old devices or find the recycling process neither easy nor worthwhile. Added to this is some lingering distrust about the final destination of products and a lack of clear incentives to return them responsibly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As a sector, we must work to make recycling more accessible, more visible, and more widely valued. At LG, we actively support in-store collection programmes and collaborate with organisations such as ECOTIC to make it easier for consumers to recycle televisions, monitors, and other electronic equipment. We also believe it is essential to communicate the positive and tangible impact of these actions connecting with values such as protecting the planet and conserving natural resources.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”20″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1759748609032{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”]What sets ECOTIC apart as an Extended Producer Responsibility Collective System (EPRCS) in an increasingly demanding sustainability and regulatory landscape after 20 years? <\/p>\n At LG, we particularly value ECOTIC\u2019s proven extensive experience and hands-on approach, as well as its outstanding ability to adapt to new regulatory challenges. Its in-depth knowledge of the electronics sector and collaborative mindset enable us to meet our obligations efficiently, anticipating changes and optimising logistics and traceability.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Moreover, ECOTIC offers more than compliance. It drives educational projects, awareness campaigns and technological platforms that reinforce the environmental commitment of brands such as LG. In a constantly evolving landscape, having an EPRCS like ECOTIC is essential for moving forward with rigour and consistency towards a more circular economy.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1495537924266{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”80″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” css=”.vc_custom_1594803443160{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;border-bottom-color: #ededed !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”20″][vc_separator type=”transparent” thickness=”20″][vc_column_text el_class=”fontcolor #1c1c1b” css=”.vc_custom_1759748456001{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”] Francisco Ruiz LG | Member of the Fundaci\u00f3n ECOTIC Board of…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":25599,"parent":26111,"menu_order":12,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full_width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-26074","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n\u201cCircularity begins with design, and at LG we already work with more sustainable materials and solutions that extend the life of our devices.\u201d<\/h5>\n
