Eco-friendly Product Development

Eco-friendly Products

The most significant environmental impact of our products is energy and water consumption when they are used. In order to minimize the impact, we are committed to improving the energy efficiency and reducing water consumption of our products by using vacuum insulation materials and Nano-trap filters. In particular, we are incorporating instant heating and semiconductor cooling technologies in our product development for better energy efficiency.
