Liebherr Appliances

Highlights of Liebherr's ActiveGreen initiative include:

• Energy Star Ratings - Liebherr's entire product line of refrigeration meets and exceeds the new guidelines for energy Star, making Liebherr the only brand in the North American marketplace to achieve these standards.



• No More Harmful Substances - as of summer of 2007, all Liebherr appliances in North America met RoHS compliance making Liebherr the first refrigeration manufacturer to comply with this practice worldwide. RoHS stands for the “Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment” and eliminates the use of major hazardous substances in the production of Liebherr products such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) and certain types of chrome and biphenyl. Liebherr has found better, greener ways to produce quality products - materials that are less damaging and have less impact on our eco-systems. Recycling old components will no longer cause issue because there is no lead and mercury to be disposed of. RoHS compliance will certainly become mandatory in the years to come in North America (it is already being implemented in Europe) but Liebherr has decide to be proactive instead of reactive.



• Responsible Production Initiatives:
• Liebherr was the first appliance manufacturer worldwide to remove CFC’s completely from the production process in 1993
• Since 2000, Liebherr’s considerable investment to ensure environmental compatibility has resulted in the reduced use of chemicals, solvents and energy consumption
• Liebherr has established central waste and resource collection stations at their manufacturing facilities
• The packaging materials on all products are 100% recyclable
• The water used in the production process is purified and pollution-free
• The energy released during production is recovered and utilized again in heating the manufacturing environments.
