Supermarkets must lower the climate impacts of cooling by reducing super pollutant hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)

Investigate Your Store

The refrigerated and frozen aisles in supermarkets are hiding a big climate pollution problem - most stores still use greenhouse gas or even ozone-depleting refrigerants, like HFCs and HCFCs. But there are widely available climate-friendly alternatives that companies can switch to, and together we can hold these companies accountable and push for more ambitious action to end these avoidable emissions in supermarkets!

Climate Friendly Supermarkets
about
HFC-Free or GreenChill Platinum
Some low-GWP refrigerants used
HFCs or HCFCs are the only refrigerants used
All crowdsourced data is categorized based on the best available information. A store is indicated as HFC-free if there are no HFCs in the central refrigeration system. Since refrigeration systems can use a combination of coolants, stores submitted by citizen investigators will not be marked as HFC-free unless confirmed by the company or industry experts. The map is continuously updated and store locations added as they become available.
