Supermarkets across the country recognized for environmental leadership
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized 13 companies in the supermarket industry for their achievements reducing emissions of refrigerants. EPA said its GreenChill awardees are meeting the goals of President Obama’s Climate Action Plan by preventing refrigerant leaks, transitioning to climate-friendly refrigerants, and using advanced refrigeration technologies.
“This year’s [GreenChill] award winners are making the smart choice to act on climate by switching to environmentally friendly refrigerants and innovative technologies,” said Janet McCabe, acting assistant administrator for EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation.
