World of Heineken 42 - summer 2010
OZONE FRIENDLY
For domestic fridges, the use of
environmentally friendly hydrocarbons in
the cooling gas has been standard in many
parts of the world for a number of years. In
the industrial sector, cooling equipment is still
available with old-style cooling gas. Flowever,
Fleineken's purchasing guidelines will ensure
that, where legally possible, only cooling
equipment with hydrocarbon cooling liquid is
bought. This also increases energy efficiency.
The type and level of insulation is also now a
consideration in our purchasing guidelines.
This includes the use of environmentally
friendly foam, increased levels of insulation
and, where possible, the switch from glass to
solid doors with a higher insulation rating.
DRAUGHT TOO!
In 2011, we will also begin to roll out more
efficient draught cooling equipment. As a
market leader in draught beer, we will be
able to stimulate and challenge suppliers
to develop more efficient technologies for
this type of equipment - leading to even
more improvements in the long term. This
will include draught beer coolers, pythons,
columns and lighting.
Overall, we aim to be at least 50% more
efficient in cooling per device by 2020 than
we are today, a significant step towards
Brewing a Better Future for our business and
our environment.
