Honeywell's liquid blowing agent technology does not harm the ozone layer and has GWP of 1 equivalent to carbon dioxide. These specific features enable customers to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising with the product's performance. In a separate news development, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, Whirlpool has decided to shut down its microwave-oven plant in Norrkoping, Sweden, to minimize costs. The production of microwave-ovens will now take place in the company's plants in Cassinetta, Italy, and Cleveland in Tennessee. The Swedish plant closure will result in 323 job losses, while the Cleveland plant is expected to employ 30 more people. Over the last 102 years, Whirlpool has emerged the leading manufacturer and supplier of major home appliances due to its sustained focus on launching innovative products and incorporating technological advancements.
