Driving Towards Net Zero with the Move to -15°C Initiative

Nov 6, 2024 | Sustainability

At Korutek Engineering, we are passionate about sustainability and innovative solutions that pave the way for a greener future. One significant initiative making waves in the industry is the 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 -𝟏𝟓°𝐂 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, which aims to adjust freezer temperatures from -𝟏𝟖°𝐂 𝐭𝐨 -𝟏𝟓°𝐂.

Why is this important?

  • 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲: Raising freezer temperatures by just 3°C can significantly reduce energy consumption, leading to substantial cost savings.
  • 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: This small change could cut carbon emissions equivalent to removing millions of cars from the road, making a massive contribution to the fight against climate change.
  • 𝐍𝐞𝐭 𝐙𝐞𝐫𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬: Using less energy reduces our carbon footprint, bringing us closer to achieving net zero emissions.
  • 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: Modern refrigeration technology ensures food safety and quality, even at slightly higher temperatures.

Adopting this initiative across the supply chain can transform logistics and contribute immensely to global carbon reduction goals. At 𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐤, we are committed to exploring and implementing such forward-thinking solutions to drive sustainability and efficiency in our operations and beyond.

Together, let’s embrace innovative practices for a sustainable future!
