Efforts run gamut from recycling and conservation to greenhouse gas and food waste reduction
With this week bringing Earth Day, supermarket chains are spotlighting a range of sustainability and environmental initiatives, from recycling and food waste reduction to climate change and conservation.
Leading into the annual celebration of eco-consciousness, held April 22, Texas grocer H-E-B announced that it has joined the How2Recycle program to bolster recycling efforts across the state. The program brings easy-to-read product labels to store shelves to signify to customers if an item’s packaging can be recycled, which parts are recyclable and how to prepare the material for recycling.

Global natural and organic foods retailer Whole Foods Market will utilise Honeywell’s Solstice® N40 (R-448A) lower global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants in its US store.
The installation is planned for more than 100 Whole Foods stores as part of an effort to reduce refrigerant emissions under the US Environmental Protection Agency’s GreenChill programme.
Based on hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) technology, Solstice N40 offers a GWP that is approximately 68% lower than legacy hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants like R-404A.
When using Solstice N40, refrigeration systems also consume less energy than their counterparts that cool using HFCs. In US and European supermarket trials, in comparison to R-404A, Solstice N40 demonstrated an average of between 5 to 15% lower energy consumption in refrigeration applications.
