LG Innotek announced that the installation and operation for one-year of LED lights for all lighting sources at its Paju LED Plant translates into the effect of planting 63,000 pine trees,which is equivalent to the amount of trees it would take to cover an area the size of Yeouido Park in Seoul.
LG Innotek’s Paju LED Plant has installed more than 10,000 LEDs, including those at production lines, welfare facilities and streets, and initiated the plant’s operation as an eco-friendly site in July of last year.
The Paju LED Plant comprises LED factory buildings, various infrastructure facilities, including administration and welfare buildings, and dormitories covering 182,000 sq. m, equivalent to the size of 26 football pitches. It is the world’s single largest LED production complex, with a total of more than 3,000 staff members.
LG Innotek’s Paju LED Plant adopted LED lighting modules, including ModulA, a plane panel lighting module, and ReflectA, an indirect reflection-type lighting module, which the company developed in-house.
With the use of LED lighting,the amount of electricity that LG Innotek has saved at the Paju Plant over the past year amounts to 753,000 kW, which is just 20 percent of the energy that would have been consumed by conventional lighting, including florescent lights.
