Grow A Green Kitchen
A kitchen that sustains both our homes and our planet.
Green Products
People are increasingly showing their commitment to sustainable living through the choices they make at home, on the road and in the store. This idea motivated by the idea that we’re stewards – not just users – of the planes, its people and resources. Our goal is to offer consumers choices that support this commitment to living green.
Product features like Dual Refrigeration means two compressors share the work, so each does its job with minimal effort while keeping each respective compartment cool. The result is half the waste and the ability to preserve food longer. Meanwhile, the adaprive defrost technology keeps the unit from defrosting the evaporator for too long or too little, preventing temperature fluctuations and extended run times. A Wolf’s product’s high-qulaity component system allows fro better control of heat, so food is cooked faster and more efficiently, saving time and energy.
In the end, our largest refrigeration unit consumes less power than a 100-watt bulb.
Responsible Manufacturing
We understand that a truly green product is manufactured as efficiently as it performs. Sub-Zero and Wolf manufacture all of their products in the United States, which eliminates the negative environmental impact caused by international shipping of assembled products. By building our appliances domestically, we drastically reduce our company’s carbon footprint.
Manufacturing facilities have established scrap reduction objectives to use recyclable materials more efficiently so there is less to recycle. All scrap plastic used in the manufacturing process is diverted from the waste stream and returned to the plastic manufacturer to be reused. Almost all Sub-Zero shipping materials are recyclable.
Returnable containers are also used to reduce waste from vendor packaging. And up to 50% of the plastic used in Sub-Zero refrigerators is recycled content.
Sub-Zero and Wolf have taken serious measures to reduce air and waste stream pollution. We’ve significantly reduced VOC (Volatile Organic Compunds) emissions at our manufacturing facilities by eliminating the painting process and utizing more environmentally responsible coatings from our vendors. No wastewater is produced in the manufacturing process for either Sub-Zero or Wolf appliances. Nearly all industrial vehicles used in production facilities are electric. A few specialty vehicles used in production facilities are electric. A few specialty vehicles used clean-burning propane, but no vehicles are used that require gasoline or diesel power.
