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.
