Coke Commits to Sustainable Refrigeration

The Coca-Cola Company and its bottling partners announced that 100 percent of their new vending machines and coolers will be hydrofluorocarbon-free (HFC) by 2015. The transition to HFC-free refrigeration will reduce the equipment's direct greenhouse gas emissions by 99 percent. "Climate change is real and the time to act on solutions is now," said Muhtar Kent, chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company.
