RECHEIO’s CO2 ADVENTURE This issue’s cover story puts the spotlight on market-leading cash and carry retailer Recheio, which is aiming for all its stores to use 100% natural refrigerants by 2030. After visiting Recheio’s first CO2 transcritical store – in Da Gama’s birthplace of Sines – we spoke to COO Angela Soares at headquarters in Lisbon to hear more about the firm’s sustainability journey. With CO2 transcritical refrigeration technology already well established in European supermarkets, it is now making inroads into convenience stores too. With its new factory in the northwest Polish city of Szczecin, Advansor looks well placed to capitalise on this growing market.
