"Finding solutions to today's sustainability issues isn't just an environmental concern -- it's smart business," said Ron Voglewede, Global Sustainability Director of Whirlpool Corporation. "At Whirlpool, we're constantly adopting a consumer-facing approach to look for innovative solutions that will help our customers live more sustainable lives. We're thrilled to showcase the innovation and research that allows us to solve real-world issues."
The Whirlpool Corporation booth experience will feature the following highlights:
"It is imperative that product designers and engineers today take into consideration real-world sustainability challenges," said Jennifer Bonuso, Senior Director of CPG & WLabs for Whirlpool Corporation. "We've taken this approach to heart at WLabs. The ZeraTM Food Recycler is just one example of how product innovation can improve consumers' lives while simultaneously helping them to live more sustainably."
Further demonstrating its commitment to purposeful, sustainable innovation that delivers on unmet consumer needs, Whirlpool Corporation will also be sponsoring the Sustainable Brands Innovation Open, which encourages entrepreneurs and inventors to think outside the box when finding solutions to today's environmental challenges. Colette Matthews, Director of Global Innovation for Whirlpool Corporation, will be among the judges for the competition.
Whirlpool Corporation's involvement in Sustainable Brands is one part of the company's larger commitment to sustainability. On the consumer product side, Whirlpool Corporation engineers its products to be more energy efficient than ever before -- for example, the refrigerators it makes today use less energy than a 60-watt incandescent light bulb.[4] This commitment to sustainability is also integrated into supply chain and operations, where the company is incorporating wind energy to power its manufacturing facilities. With a zero waste-to-landfill goal for all of its global manufacturing facilities by 2022, Whirlpool Corporation continues to work to minimize its impact on the environment.
Attendees at Sustainable Brands can learn more about the ReNEWW House, the Zera™ Food Recycler, the Vessi™ Beer Fermentor and Dispenser, and other innovations at booth 709.
