Unilever has developed new formulations for its ice cream that allow it to be stable at the warmer freezer temperature of -12 degrees, to reduce the cost of chilling a freezer to the more typical -18 degrees.
The company is also making the patents for 12 new formulations available to the wider ice cream industry in order to reduce the freezer temperatures worldwide.
Emissions from retail ice cream freezers account for 10% of Unilever’s value chain greenhouse gas footprint. This initiative reduces the energy requirement for ice cream freezers by 25%.
