Sustainability

Natural refrigerants. Energy-efficient design. Reduced carbon footprint across the cold chain. Square Technology's approach to environmentally responsible industrial freezing and cooling.

Environmental Commitment

Built for a Low-Carbon Cold Chain

Square Technology addresses this at the system-design level through refrigerant selection, heat recovery, insulation, and efficiency improvements. Every percentage-point gain compounds over an operating life of more than 20 years.

  • Natural Refrigerants

    NH₃ (ammonia) — zero GWP, highest industrial COP. CO₂ (R744) — GWP of 1, compact and efficient at low temperatures. Both avoid F-gas phase-down costs and regulatory risk. NH₃/CO₂ cascade systems are deployed globally.

  • Energy Efficiency

    Evaporator coil design, fin spacing, defrost strategy, airflow uniformity, and compressor selection are all optimized to maximize kilowatts of cooling per kilowatt of electricity.

  • PIR Insulation Technology

    PIR offers greater thermal resistance per millimetre than traditional PUR, reducing the refrigeration load and long-term energy consumption of cold rooms and freezers.

  • Heat Recovery

    Square Technology designs systems that capture waste heat for facility heating, hot water, or process preheating, thereby reducing total site energy consumption.

  • Equipment Longevity

    Most sustainable equipment lasts. In-house manufacturing and quality control — from raw steel to finished system — ensures system lifetimes measured in decades. Fewer replacements mean less embodied carbon.

  • GWP-Compliant Portfolio

    The full product range is designed to comply with EU F-gas requirements and global refrigerant phase-down regulations. Customers investing today are protected against future regulatory changes. Technical documentation supports environmental permitting.
