- Retail Freezers
- Responsible farming of cows - methane management/green energy
- All ingredients fairtrade by 2011
- Move to green energy reduced energy impact on planet, as a company, by 89%
- 90% of packaging - paper - responsbily managed forests
- Never air-freight ice cream, always distribute as close as possible
Given ice cream lives in freezers which run on gases that are key
contributors to ozone depletion, we’ve gone on a bit of crusade to
find an alternative solution.
So, we’ve teamed up with acoustics professor Steven Garrett and fellow researchers at Penn State’s Applied Research Laboratory, where we helped fund a project to develop an environmentally-friendly, compact freezer cabinet that uses thermoacoustic technology to create cooling. That means they’re powered by sound waves.
In 2003, the team managed to develop the first prototype chilling unit and while we’re very excited about this advancement, it will be a little while before they make their way into a household near you.
