PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY
The investment also marks another milestone in GEA's ongoing
commitment to creating more sustainable products and manufacturing
processes. These new refrigerators use R600a, a low global warming
potential refrigerant. These models are environmentally friendly
refrigerators that help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
• In 2008, GEA was the first appliance manufacturer to apply for
and receive approval from the Environmental Protection Agency
to begin using HFC-free refrigeration gases.
• In 2011, GEA launched the use of an HFC-free foam insulation in
its refrigerators and freezers.
• In 2012, GEA introduced the first-ever HFC-free refrigerator in the U.S.
GEA's operations in Kentucky generate an annual economic
impact of $11 billion and have led to the creation of 15,000
additional jobs in the state. Visit www.MakeItAtThePark.com to
