Nestlé is systematically introducing more environmentally efficient ice cream
freezers using natural refrigerants across Europe.
The company has pledged that from now on all new commercial horizontal ice cream
chest freezers bought by Nestlé across Europe will use only natural
refrigerants.
These are naturally occurring substances - like carbon dioxide, ammonia, water
or air and hydrocarbons, like propane and iso-butane - which do not harm the
ozone layer and have no or negligible global warming effects.
The new horizontal ice cream chest freezers will reduce energy consumption by
more than a third, in comparison with existing systems.
Replace and renew
Already, Nestlé has introduced 18,000 natural refrigerant hydrocarbon freezers
worldwide.
The company has also invested more than CHF 240 million to replace synthetic
refrigerants with natural alternatives in more than 92% of its industrial
refrigeration systems.
The decision to systematically introduce these commercial horizontal ice cream
chest freezers across Europe is part of Nestlé's commitment to progressively
phase out the use of high global warming potential refrigerants, such as
hydrofluorocarbons (HFC).
It also moves the company beyond meeting the Consumer Goods Forum Resolution on
Refrigeration, which encourages businesses to take action towards phasing out
some HFC refrigerants from 2015.
