RECOGNIZING LG ELECTRONICS' COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND RECYCLING

  (Mr. DOLD asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize LG Electronics for 
winning the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries' Design for 
Recycling Award.
  Recycling is one of the most consequential activities each and every 
one of us can do on a daily basis to protect the environment and 
conserve natural resources. Contestants in the ISRI's Design for 
Recycling are some of our country's largest and best manufacturers, all 
working to preserve our environment by improving the recyclability of 
their products.
  Mr. Speaker, the vast majority of recycled material comes from items 
such as automobiles, refrigerators, old tires, and electronics such as 
televisions and computers. This year, LG Electronics won for their 4K 
Ultra HD OLED and LED TVs. These TVs include innovative new 
technologies that were designed with recycling in mind.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to join the ISRI in recognizing LG 
Electronics for their commitment to the environment and recycling.
