LG Electronics has been named “2022 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year-Sustained Excellence” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In addition to this prestigious honor, the company received the ENERGY STAR Emerging Technology Award last month with the EPA honoring 43 LG refrigerator-freezer models. The award-winning products feature advanced adaptive compressors and use R-600a, a refrigerant with very low global-warming potential (GWP). Refrigerators that earn this environmental distinction outperform the federal minimum standard by at least 25 percent when the compressor is in adaptive mode compared to when the compressor is in a fixed-speed mode. Recognized products also contain low GWP (below 15) refrigerant and foam. Inverter Linear Compressor found in LG’s refrigerator lineups efficiently keep food fresh longer and noise levels lower compared to LG’s conventional models.
