energy_star Energy Star is the U.S. government’s international program that encourages the use of energy-saving consumer products. It was formed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1992, as part of energy-saving and greenhouse gas reduction efforts. The majority of LG Electronics’ products meet the Energy Star standard. For example, the battery charger for handsets produced for the U.S. market fulfills 100% of the Energy Star requirements.

LG and Energy Efficiency
LG Electronics is one of the largest global companies of its kind. Because of this, we feel we have a social responsibility to actively take on the environmental issues that arise from the carbon output of our industry. We have implemented, and are continuing to perfect, two independent strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of our company:

1. Develop more environmentally friendly technologies in our factories
2. Continuously raise the energy efficiency of our products

LG gives its customers the opportunity to participate in greenhouse gas reduction by providing them with products that meet the U.S. government’s Energy Star® standard for energy-saving consumer products.

LG Washer/Dryer Combos and Energy Efficiency
LG Washer/Dryer Combos use the latest water- and energy-saving technology to meet the Energy Star standard. So, consumers who use an LG dishwasher will both reduce the carbon emissions of their household, and lower their monthly energy bills.

How energy efficient is the LG Washer/Dryer Combo?
The LG Washer/Dryer unit is very energy efficient. Because it uses 50% less water, your hot water heater does not have to use as much energy. Also, the combo uses only 1.4 kilowatts per hour during the drying cycle—as opposed to 5 or 6 for a conventional dryer.

How water efficient is the LG Washer/Dryer Combo?
The LG Washer/Dryer unit uses about 12–15 gallons during the washing cycle, compared to 30 gallons per current, American-made front-loading washers—or 40 to 60 gallons per washing cycle per conventional, top-loading washers. The LG combo saves you water while cleaning better!
