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 that don’t 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.
Nestlé has already introduced 18,000 natural refrigerant hydrocarbon freezers worldwide. The company has also invested more than CHF 240m to replace synthetic refrigerants with natural alternatives in more than 92% of its industrial refrigeration systems.
