IMPROVEMENT OF THE CARBON FOOTPRINT

Vic

The new refrigeration system using non-polluting gases and expansion of the cold store is launched.

Last November 2023, the works for the change of the cold refrigeration system and the construction of a new slaughterhouse chamber were completed.

Following the sustainability policy, GRUP VIÑAS is committed to modernizing the refrigeration system, installing an NH3 ammonia refrigeration system, which will bring major improvements to the company:

Firstly, the reduction in the cooling time of the carcass which leads to a direct benefit in the quality of the meat.

Secondly, the improvement in energy efficiency.

Thirdly, bet on refrigeration with a "natural" refrigerant gas that provides environmental improvements since ammonia does not affect the ozone layer, has zero depletion potential and also has global warming potential (GWP) zero, reducing the carbon footprint of our product.
