The Consumer Goods Forum, the world’s leading association of retailers and manufacturers, has agreed to begin phasing out HFC refrigerants as of 2015 and replace them with non-HFCs, primarily natural refrigerants. As Megan Hellstedt from Delhaize explains in her presentation, the CGF refrigeration roadmap aims to help reach this goal and includes a clear public commitment to engage retailers, manufacturers and technology suppliers.
