The following submission statement was provided by /u/rosesandtherest:

It is a game-changer to replace the insulation of a refrigerator which has been unchanged for the last 30 or 40 years which is not efficient and environmentally friendly.

> We have found a sustainable solution that also has benefits in terms of energy efficiency and usable space which was getting smaller and smaller because the insulation was getting bigger and bigger.

> While the internal components using BluRox is heavier overall, the insulation will not degrade for the entire life of the product and is also fully recyclable at end of life unlike foam-based insulation which reduces its energy efficiency over time

I haven’t been so excited for a long time. It’s like seeing a reinvention of a wheel or an airplane shape. Finally, some innovation that has nothing to do with adding screens or cameras.
