Coca-cola's Olympic coolers 100% HFC-free
[firstParagraph]
COCA-COLA is using green coolers and vending machines in all the official venues of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
This is the first time 100% of the Coca-Cola coolers and vending machines will feature hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-free insulation and HFC-free natural refrigerant at the olympics.
Based on the equipment's expected ten-year life span, the 6,350 climate-friendly refrigeration units will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45,000 metric tons.
