To maintain ecological balance with industrial growth is prime motive of any nation. All nations areconcerned with impact on environment due to industrialization. Everyone tries to find out way for alternate solution ortechnology to improve the environment. All new development and modification in existing technology primarily focusedits effect on environment. Refrigerator industry uses insulation to prevent heat in leak. Earlier refrigerator manufacturerwere using glass wool, but due to side effect of glass wool, refrigerator industries are using polyurethane foam (PUF) asan insulating material. Polyurethane is non biodegradable material. Though it is non toxic but it pollutes theenvironment. Perlite is the biodegradable material which is available naturally through crude perlite rock. It is light inweight and has low thermal conductivity. Perlite can be used as an insulation material in refrigerator.
