Waitrose improves energy efficiency of stores

Waitrose & Partners is implementing a new design of shelf edge strips to speed up its sustainability plans. Waitrose will be fitting the Wirth Research (WR) EcoBlade™ in stores from March. This step will reduce the energy consumption of refrigerators by up to 25 percent.  As well as maintaining a consistent fridge temperature to ensure optimum product quality, the aisles will also feel warmer and there will no longer be a need to install doors on the fridges.
