According to the LG web site, it has substituted harmful materials with healthier alternatives and increased the energy efficiency and recyclability of its products. Right now, it claims that no lead, cadmium, and other EU RoHS materials are used in the production of its phones. The use of nickel is also banned due to the risk of skin irritation.

In an attempt to improve energy efficiency, standby power has been reduced in mobile phone chargers, and handsets currently on the market have a charger reminder feature that notifies (beeps and displays a message) the user when the handset is fully charged.

LG is also making sure to put in place take-back, recycling and other end-of-life programs to make sure that phones are disposed of properly.
