Hello, mech fishies! I thought this was a pretty interesting challenge. How would you all approach the making of eco-friendly refrigerators? I love reading people's perspectives and ideas so comment with whatever comes to mind!

I do appreciate the move in a more eco-friendly direction, when it is at least done with some thought behind it. My only concern is that there will be legislation passed before systems are in place and make a huge headache for a lot of companies and consumers. Kind of what we are seeing with EV cars in some areas.

If refrigerators were built with modern refrigerants and to higher quality standards, there would be fewer units annually getting recycled, fewer units getting produced, and a reduction in demand for refrigerant. According to the US Department of Energy, the average lifespan of a modern refrigerator is 12 years.

The refrigerator in my basement was a housewarming “present” from my wife’s grandpa, as she loved pulling on the massive handle when she was a little kid (as does our son!). That fridge is 74 years young and hasn’t needed anything aside from the occasional defrost in at least 35 years.
