Food Retail Emissions Reduction
Talk to an ExpertThe average refrigerant leak rate for food retail, grocery stores is estimated to be 25% per year (). That’s a considerable amount of lost refrigerant, which inevitably needs replacing to ensure refrigeration systems are working at optimal levels. With increasing refrigerant costs, this can have an immense impact on a supermarket organization’s profits, especially with an . For example, an organization operating at just 1% margin, saving $10,000 in refrigerant re-charge is the equivalent to generating $1,000,000 of revenue. In fact, if every supermarket in the United States joined GreenChill and reduced refrigerant emission to the current GreenChill average, the industry would save an estimated $108 million per year on Refrigerant Costs []
