Business review <strong>Frigoglass</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2011</strong><br />
Towards<br />
sustainable<br />
development<br />
Environmental innovation is our primary driver in product development.<br />
We continue expanding the Ecocool line-up, the world’s first complete range<br />
of environmentally-friendlier ICMs, while we are also investing in innovative<br />
and sustainable refrigeration technologies.<br />
Environmental innovation<br />
Miracool<br />
The first cooler range that can be adapted<br />
to function with three different refrigerant<br />
configurations. Using a technology-neutral<br />
cabin and a cartridge based refrigeration<br />
mechanism, the Miracool range can<br />
accommodate different refrigerants (R134a,<br />
HC, CO₂) in a variety of ICM types and sizes.<br />
Developed specifically for the US market,<br />
the Miracool line-up conforms successfully<br />
to all the individual environmental strategies<br />
of our US customers.<br />
Solar ICM<br />
Building on the innovative concepts of<br />
the EcoCantina and fuel cell technologies,<br />
the I&D (Innovation and Development)<br />
department continued exploring<br />
the use of alternative power sources.<br />
A direct result of these efforts is the<br />
Solar ICM, a unit powered by a single<br />
solar panel, an ideal solution for areas<br />
with limited or no power supply.
