Pro markets and installs refrigerated display cases used in grocery and convenience stores.
Pro President/CEO Joseph Kokinda became aware of the negative effects refrigerants cause to the environment and atmosphere when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency created the GreenChill program. GreenChill was created in 2007 to work with the retail food industry to reduce refrigerant releases and decrease the negative effects on the ozone layer and climate change.
The non-profit Project Drawdown was started in 2014 to uncover solutions to reduce the point when greenhouse gas (GHG) levels in the atmosphere start to decline. The non-profit became the world’s leading resource for climate solutions after the publication of the New York Times bestseller “Drawdown”. Eliminating the release of high Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant gases and developing alternate, lower GWP, and natural refrigerants will have a positive impact on reducing GHG from 2020 to 2050.
In 2022 Pro is introducing the Pure Cold line of self-contained refrigerated display cases that use a lower GWP refrigerant produced by Honeywell called Solstice N40 (R448A).
GreenChill states that an average retail grocer has 3,500 pounds of refrigerant in a long piping system that contains many areas for potential leaks. Many grocers use an older refrigerant R404A which has a high GWP of 6,600. GreenChill estimates that refrigerant leaks amount to 25% per year or 875 pounds annually.
Pure Cold refrigerated display cases are beneficial to the environment by reducing emissions from refrigerants in 3 of 5 areas cited by Project Drawdown:
