Lincolnshire Co-op is paving the way when it comes to environmentally friendly fridges after swapping to a new refrigerant gas and has won an award for the pioneering measures.

Lincolnshire Co-op has rolled out these fridges to three of its newest stores including Gainsborough, and the scheme has been recognised by the national ACR News Awards with the Environmental Project of the Year award.

Lincolnshire Co-op Store Development Manager, Matthew Wilkinson, said: “We’re very pleased and proud that our environmental efforts have been acknowledged.

“Reducing energy use is important to us; by looking after the local environment we can help to look after our customers and the communities that they live in.”
