The majority of the environmental impact created by an appliance occurs during it's in-home use and is generally 10 to 20 times higher than the impacts created during it's production, distribution or disposal life cycle phases. That's why Whirlpool Corporation voluntarily participates in the ENERGY STAR (R) programs in the United States and Canada, as well as the PROCEL standards in Latin America and the EU Directive in Europe. We are committed to making products that exceed expectations while significantly improving our own environmental performance to create positive, meaningful change.
