Developed by Greenpeace in 1992, Greenfreeze is now cost effective, technologically mature and commercially accepted in most major markets. There are nearly 150 million Greenfreeze<br \/>\nrefrigerators in the world today. Greenfreeze technology is produced by the largest appliance manufacturers in west-ern Europe, China, Japan and India. Greenfreeze is also produced in Australia, Argentina and Cuba. It is only artificially created obstacles that have prevented the introduction of Greenfreeze on the North American market.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Num. pages:<\/b> 2<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download document<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":7443,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[211],"tags":[6],"p4-page-type":[29],"class_list":["post-4464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-climate-campaign","tag-climate","p4-page-type-research"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.9 (Yoast SEO v23.9) -
