Coca-Cola has over 12 million vending machines, coolers and drinks dispensers around the world. With cooling equipment the greatest contributor to the Company’s carbon footprint, to reduce environmental impact the CEO of Coca-Cola made a commitment to purchase only HFC-free cooling equipment by 2015. By the end of 2011, the company will exceed the 420,000 HFC-free units placed globally, with CO2 technology as the preferred option. The biggest issue now is supply chain development and global production capacity of CO2 refrigeration components.
