21、ch carbon as nearly 7 million cars, a new study has found, and the problem is growing. With costs falling and kitchen appliances becoming “ status ” users, owners are throwing many microwaves after an average of eight years. This is pushing sales of new microwave which are expected to reach 135 mill
22、ion annually in the EU by the end of the decade.A study by the University of Manchester worked out the emissions of carbon dioxide the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change at every stage of microwaves, from manufacture to waste disposal. “ It is electricity consumption by microwaves th
23、at has the biggest impact on the environment, ” say the authors, who also calculate that the emissions from using 19 microwaves over a year are the same as those from using a car. According to the same study, efforts to reduce consumption should focus on improving consumer awareness and behaviour. F
24、or example, consumers should use appliances in a more efficient way by adjusting the time of cooking to the type of food.

Backing this up, recent data show that passenger cars in the UK emitted 69 million tons of CO2 in 2015. This is 10 times the amount this new microwave oven study estimates for annual emissions for all th
26、e microwave ovens in the whole of the EU. Further, the energy used by microwaves is lower than any other form of coking. Among common kitchen appliances used for cooking, microwaves are the most energy efficient, followed by a stove and finally a standard oven. Thus, rising microwave sales could be
