Summary

The Coca-Cola system, which includes franchise bottlers as well as operations owned by the Coca-Cola Company, has some 9 million coolers and vending machines in the market-place worldwide. The vast majority of these use HFCs a greenhouse gas, as refrigerants and in insulation foams. This equipment also generates indirect greenhouse emissions through electricity use. The company will adopt refrigeration systems that do not use HFCs, and that, by 2010, will be 40-50% more energy efficient.
