Organic Foods And Café enlists Honeywell for Solstice N40 refrigerant move

Organic Foods and Café, a grocery retailer based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has worked with Honeywell to adopt Solstice N40 (R-448A) refrigerant in a retrofit of one of its Dubai store locations currently using R-22.

Organic Foods and Café plans to continue retrofitting stores throughout the UAE with Solstice N40.

“Solstice N40 is the practical and economical choice to support sustainable operations while reducing energy costs,” says Nils El Accad, CEO at Organic Foods and Café.

“This environmentally preferable solution coupled with technical support from Honeywell’s team allowed us to easily retrofit our Dubai store location while complying with existing and proposed requirements of the Middle East market, benefiting the environment and economy.”

“Solstice N40 is already a leading choice for supermarkets worldwide and its growing adoption in the region is a sign of growing awareness and action against global warming as customers move away from legacy refrigerants such as R-22,” says George Bou Mitri, Vice President and General Manager of Performance Materials and Technologies for the Middle East at Honeywell.

“Switching to this ready now, environmentally preferable, longer-term solution will not only contribute to the sustainable practices of Organic Foods and Café, but will also help to accelerate the industry’s conversion to alternatives that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
