Continuous additions ensured an increase in energy consumption and electricity costs related to the operation of traditional appliances. Regulatory bodies around the world are creating regulations that focus on reducing the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of refrigerators and freezers to reduce their environmental impact. The European Commission (EC) obliges regional manufacturers to ensure that their products have the appropriate energy classification label. In 2021, the EC introduced a new regulation, the Ecodesign Requirements for Refrigeration Equipment (EU) 2019/2019, which aims to support the circular economy by emphasizing the repairability, easy disassembly and recyclability of refrigerated products.
Energy efficient freezers are increasingly in focus due to environmental concerns and regulations. Manufacturers are increasingly designing products with advanced insulation, compressor technology and environmentally friendly refrigerants to reduce energy consumption and operating costs. Smart freezers with IoT (Internet of Things) functions are becoming more and more common. These devices offer features such as remote monitoring, temperature control via smartphone apps and integration with smart home systems. Behind this trend is comfort and the desire to connect home devices. Consumers are looking for freezers that increase storage space and fit perfectly into the kitchen or living room. Manufacturers are responding with innovative design solutions, including slim designs, box configurations and customizable storage solutions for different user needs.
