Major Manufacturers at InfoComm Supporting Sustainability
It was really great to see so many manufacturers having dedicated space within their booths to showcase how they are working to create more sustainable products and focus on total product life cycle at the show floor this year. In particular, Samsung and LG both had major displays outlining not only how their products work towards energy reduction, incorporate recycled materials, and offer improved feature sets that increase the products usable life, but also showcased their efforts in improving the manufacturing process to reduce waste, improve the carbon footprint of shipping and manufacturing, use reusable energy in the manufacturing process, and work towards responsible end-of-life challenges to keep their products out of landfills and claim a second life. Others included Panasonic, Barco, and several companies form Europe and Asia.
