We Are Committed to Overall Sustainability
At TRUE, we are continually searching out environmentally friendly components and processes that will reduce our carbon footprint. This
process encapsulates both our approach to manufacturing as well as our approach to the performance of our equipment.
TRUE's 63+ years of commercial refrigeration focus has enabled us to become experts in the design and development of our systems. While
energy efficiency has always been part of our design process, we have recently put forth an initiative to improve our systems to be the most
efficient in the industry, without sacrificing the performance that ultimately provides food safety for our customers throughout the World.
Specific examples of our commitment to the overall sustainability of our
entire operation are:
- Energy Star Partner Click here to see a list of Energy Star approved models.
- Equipment That Exceeds CEE Tier II and Energy Star Standards
- We discontinued the use of Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) chemicals in the refrigeration systems in the 1990's, more than 10 years before the legal mandate. TRUE has also eliminated the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of blowing agents used in its foaming insulation process of equipment from 142,000 tons of CO² equivalent units to ZERO. This is equivalent to removing 23,500 cars off the road each year
- Over the last 10 years, we have reduced certain EPA reportable chemical releases by 80%, our total water usage by 58%, and reduced our natural gas consumption by 23% per square foot of manufacturing.
- As of 2007, TRUE equipment now meets RoHS compliance. RoHS stands for 'Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances' in electrical and electronic equipment and we reduced the use of major hazardous substances in the production of TRUE products, such as lead, mercury and cadmium by 99%.
