Greenfreeze refrigerators

El refrigerator or refrigerator as this appliance is known in other countries, it is one of the most Energy it spends on a house as it is used constantly.

Within ecological appliances or environmentally friendly we find the greenfreeze technology which saves up to 80% energy compared to a common refrigerator.

This technology was developed by Greenpeace in 1992 who managed to design refrigerators without the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) which are highly polluting gases and damage the ozone layer in addition to contributing to climate change.

Instead greenfreeze technology uses gases  propane and butane as a refrigerant that does not produce pollution to the environment. But they are also more efficient and save energy in daily use.

More than 400 million refrigerators with greenfreeze technology produced by different brands have been sold worldwide since their launch.

It is still far from that all refrigerators use this technology since in many countries it is still authorized to use HFCs until 2015, as the maximum date.

But not we as consumers can support this efficient technology and ecological so that it continues to expand around the world by purchasing one when we need it. Looking at the labels and looking for information about the appliance we need, it is important to be able to choose the most ecological and economical.

A simple advice that helps save energy is to locate the refrigerator in the kitchen away from heat sources, since otherwise it will spend up to 15% more than Energy.

The conventional and polluting technological transformation can be replaced by a more ecological one, but it requires the effort of various social sectors to achieve these objectives.

If all the electrical appliances were ecological, especially the refrigerators, it would prevent tons of polluting gases from reaching the atmosphere.
