With the current climate of increasing concerns over global warming, more companies are coming up with innovative products that carry an eco-friendly tag. Whirlpool Europe is the latest to add its name to this growing list of contributors with their GREENKITCHEN eco-friendly concept.

Whirlpool claims that its GREENKITCHEN concept cuts energy consumption by 50 percent and could slash your energy bill by up to 70 percent.

To achieve this, the GREENKITCHEN diverts up to 60 percent of the water and heat generated from appliances to power others.

For example, heat produced by the fridge compressor is used to heat the water in the dishwasher. Instead of a normal cabinet design, the fridge is a pullout "drawer". This design traps the cold air inside the drawer instead of letting it "slip out" every time the door is opened.

The multi-function kitchen hood not only removes all those unwanted oily fumes, it also measures the temperature and humidity of the air passing through its filters for climate control in the kitchen.

Whirlpool has also introduced an energy-efficient storage space that is maintained at cellar temperature, ideal for keeping vegetables and fruits fresh for longer periods of time.

With these innovations, you could soon be doing your part for a greener Earth with your own GREENKITCHEN.
