Additional information
This paper describes a new method of producing heat reflective packaging for chilled and frozen food enabling the food refrigeration system to run at much warmer temperatures and as a result reduce energy consumption of the food refrigeration systems by around 30%. In the UK this has potential to reduce energy use by up to 1% and will result in reduced food wastage and better food quality. The technology is transferable worldwide, and we are currently exploring the potential of a commercial prototype with a food packaging manufacturer and a major retailer.
