The Cold Chain Federation has published a new Net Zero Project report
‘Increasing Temperature Set Points for Frozen Food to Cut Emissions Across the UK Cold Chain’ to provide an overview of the opportunities and next steps, and has launched a new survey to ensure every CCF member can contribute to the discussion on the important issue. The federation continues to work closely with food industry businesses and organisations worldwide as part of the global ‘Join the Move to -15C’ initiative.
Increasing Temperature Set Points for Frozen Food to Cut Emissions Across the UK Cold Chain provides an overview of the theory behind the global initiative to assess temperature set points for frozen food storage and how the UK cold chain could lead the way in reducing energy use and slashing emissions.
Although early signs are positive, there is much work still to be done to assess the impact of an increase, including the readiness of temperature-controlled logistics operators and the steps needed to transition to new set points.
This report is a call for action, it sets out the broad actions needed to progress the concept in the UK and how the Cold Chain Federation will work with our members and other stakeholders across the food supply chain to fully explore how we can all turn up the dial on frozen.
