@ Spinaap you are 100% wrong. The modern insulation uses up far less space than the old one and is superior. The motor and mechaniisms are take up less space as well. Sorry you do not know what you are talking about. I can introduce you to a engineer who specializes in these things if you want.

here's the thing about refrigerators. any dead space inside requires more energy to keep it at a set temperature. if you took that old fridge and packed in bubble wrap into the areas not taken up by food then the fridge becomes more efficient because you're not trying to cool down the open space that is not taken up with food you're trying to keep cold

extra 30% space inside, I don't think so! Fridge inside spaces have only decreased due to added insulation to meet higher ecological standards ... they are only saving power because less heat is lost, the motors have barely changed (the cooling gas/liquid has changed tho, that was a good idea seeing the ozon layer)

OMFG! Don’t you whiners have anything better to do than complain about the energy inefficiency, too much plastic , what a waste , bla bla bla, look at how responsible I am! On EVERY FING POST!

Modern parts aren't as long lasting...when you maintain the old, no need for the new.

If you don't like whiners, don't be one.

Too much plastic is a real problem

A bay that was create by a melting glacier and just opened up to the ocean, was found to be full of micro plastic. Micro plastic was also just discovered in an unborn fetus. It managed to cross the blood barrier between mom and child. Micro plastic is everywhere, pretty much no matter what you eat or what water you drink, there is plastic in it. That's why people are concerned, these chemicals effect us (not to mention the rest of the creatures that live in the ecosystem) but the science is so new that the doctors can't say just how bad. People who don't have their heads in their asses and are paying attention are seriously worried. Plastic is a problem, but it's not a problem that can be solved by you or me, but by corporations and industries, and that is terrifying.

How did you do the math? I'm also thinking about the complete production and disposal of, say, 6 refrigerators over the last decades. They have not been manufactured in a truly climate-neutral way for very long.
