ECO IDEAS MATTER

PANASONIC IntroducES a new standard in home appliances. Fresh-thinking design, clever features and user-friendly technology – all engineered to standards you can rely on.

Panasonic is renowned for producing some of the highest quality, most technologically advanced consumer electronics in the world. We have been applying this same know-how to home appliances for many years in Japan, and now these energy efficient, eco-friendly appliances, are available here in Europe.

Advanced energy saving technologies, revolutionary design and the ultimate in convenience, combine to bring a major upgrade to your kitchen.

our commitment to the environment

When it comes to being environmentally friendly, at Panasonic we approach the challenge differently by examining it in every aspect of our business. Unlike other companies, Panasonic controls every aspect of its product manufacture, from the design process to production. So not only do we design eco-friendly products, but we produce them in a more environmentally friendly manner as well.

Panasonic’s sponsorship of the WWF International Arctic Program

The Arctic is affected first and worst by climate change; the effects of warming are already being felt. The Arctic is also a global temperature regulator, with many delicately balanced relationships that have the potential to seriously amplify the impact of climate change around the world.

It is one of the world’s largest, most valuable and pristine natural regions, but it faces challenges from both climate change and increased human use. Panasonic’s support will enable the WWF to scale up activities at a time when the Arctic faces unprecedented change. The activities include devising and promoting governance and management regimes to help protect Arctic ecosystems, eliminating illegal fishing activities, and researching, monitoring and supporting the continued well-being of key arctic species such as polar bears.

Supporting these initiatives is an important part of Panasonic’s global ‘eco ideas’ strategy. Part of our aim is to improve the efficiency of products, reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing and encourage people to get involved in environmental issues – through local communities, across Europe.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY MATTERS

RET?

Household appliances account for the majority of a household’s energy needs – especially the refrigerator that has to run day and night, all year long, consuming a lot of energy.

Innovative new features in the Panasonic NR-B30FX1 refrigerator make it one of the most energy efficient, with a rating of A++ and with No Frost technology. Based on energy consumption you can’t buy a better refrigerator. This drastic reduction in energy use is not only good for the wallet, but also kind to the environment.

A Panasonic core technology

A more Energy-efficient RefrigeratOR

		Inverter Technology
		Conventional refrigerators have one power level, but your new Panasonic
		refrigerator has five, to make the best use of energy. Inverter technology
		runs on minimal power overnight, and at times when you use it less. This
		saves valuable energy while reserving power for quickly freezing items if you
		need to. ‘Variable operation’ means it can automatically adjust how much
		energy it uses, according to how you use the appliance – which saves even
		more power.
		Temperature sensors and microprocessor technology work together to help
		the inverter finely adjust the compressor. This means it can operate at the
		most appropriate power level. It also takes into account the temperature
		inside the refrigerator, to give you the best chilling and freezing results
		without wasting energy.
		U-Vacua – Vacuum Insulation Panel
		Traditional insulation requires more material for better performance creating thicker walls and
		reduced space. Panasonic introduces a brand new technology, using less material. Glass-fibre
		processed in a vacuum, produces an ultra-thin sheet that has 20-times more insulation than traditional
		materials. The result is more energy efficiency, reduction in material used, and more space in the
		freezer for you.
		Quiet operation
		One big difference with Panasonic refrigerators is the quiet operation. At just a whispering 36dB,
		it is one of the quietest of its kind - you will not even notice it’s there.
		The Inverter actually reduces variations in noise frequency – especially when it’s working hardest.
		Even when the compressor switches on and off when you’re using the fridge more often, you’ll hardly
	No Frost
		notice it.
		NO FROST TECHNOLOGY
		Traditional refrigerators with direct cooling form frost; especially in the freezer. This ice layer reduces
		the cooling effect, therefore consuming more energy to achieve the same desired temperature level.
		To save energy, Panasonic refrigerators are equipped with no-frost technology, keeping your refrigerator
		frost-free and performing efficiently with the added convenience of not having to defrost.
