Harmless to the environment
Fundamentally different from mechanical refrigeration systems, ecoFridge is Nitrogen powered making it completely harmless to the environment. It enables transporters of temperature sensitive cargoes to play their part in tackling climate change by eliminating emissions and greatly reducing energy use.
In March 2006, ecoFridge received EU certification as an acceptable alternative refrigeration system meeting all the EU requirements for the refrigeration of frozen and refrigerated products. The EU is limiting the use of HFCs in refrigeration systems and will enforce a complete ban from 2015 in line with the Kyoto Protocol, forcing companies to look for new solutions. Currently, there are no alternative transport cooling systems other than eco-Fridge that meet these regulations.
