An overview of the program to encourage the use of environmentally friendly electrical appliances with eco points
The program to encourage the use of environmentally friendly electrical appliances with eco points is a program that aims to reduce CO2 emissions, stimulate the economy, and accelerate the shift to televisions that support terrestrial digital broadcasting. In this program, people who purchase electrical appliances with high energy-efficiency ratings (specifically, air conditioners, refrigerators and televisions (that support terrestrial digital broadcasts) with four or more stars in the integrated energy-efficiency labeling system) can earn “eco points”, Ewhich can be exchanged for various products.
