Supermarket fridges and freezers are a significant source of global warming pollution, predominantly due to the use of potent HFC refrigerants that should be eliminated.
Aldi receives high marks for using natural refrigerants in 30% of its stores and pledging to use them in all locations by 2035, a pioneering commitment.
Most companies, including Walmart, Costco, and Trader Joe's, scored poorly on their climate initiatives, demonstrating a need for urgent action in reducing HFC leaks.
Avipsa Mahapatra, from the Environmental Investigation Agency, emphasizes the necessity for supermarkets to eliminate reliance on HFCs to combat climate change effectively.
