Introduction
The LG Remarq and its packaging are designed with
environmentally responsible components including:
䢇 The outer casing is made from 19 percent post-
consumer recycled plastic and the handset as a
whole is 87 percent recyclable. The device meets
RoHS standards for restriction of hazardous materials
such as lead, mercury and cadmium.
䢇 Remarq contains low levels of polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFR): two
materials commonly targeted on green electronics
guidelines.
䢇 The Remarq is powered by an Energy Star-qualified
charger which meets the energy-efficiency standards
set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
䢇 The packaging is fully recyclable packaging
featuring a brown craft paper exterior and made from
87 percent post consumer material (PCM). The
images and text on the box, as well as all in-box
materials, are printed with soy ink.
䢇 The paper manual has been replaced with an online
user manual.
i
In addition, LG Remarq comes pre-loaded with an
innovative Eco Calculator application that allows
customers to calculate C0
2 reduction savings by
walking or cycling as opposed to driving their cars. The
reduction is calculated in pounds of C0
2 or trees
planted.
