Hubbard Products Raises the Bar for Sustainable Refrigeration

IPSWICH, U.K. - Feb. 23, 2026 - PRLog -- In the commercial, industrial and transport refrigeration sector, the shift to more sustainable solutions is accelerating, and Hubbard is at the forefront. As a member of the Daikin Group, Hubbard is aligning its operations with Daikin's global environmental framework and bringing advanced, low-impact cooling technologies to market.

A Global Mission Underpins Local Action

Daikin's "Environmental Vision 2050" sets a bold ambition: net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions across the full product lifecycle by 2050 (https://www.daikin.eu/en_us/daikin-blog/daikin-environmental-vision-2050.html). The group's roadmap aims for at least a 30% reduction in net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2025 and 50% by 2030 (compared to business-as-usual). For Hubbard, this global stewardship translates into practical steps in sustainable refrigeration manufacture and design.

Hubbard's own environmental statement reflects this commitment: "Our environment and sustainability policies are aimed at reducing carbon emissions, noise pollution and waste by investing in R&D for clean technology."

What Sustainable Refrigeration Looks Like at Hubbard

Hubbard's dedication to sustainable refrigeration manifests across several front-line areas:

• Low-GWP Refrigerants and Advanced Refrigerant Systems – the company is actively developing refrigeration solutions using natural refrigerants with low global-warming-potential (GWP) and designing for minimal Total Equivalent Warming Impact (TEWI) across product life cycles.
• CO₂-Based Solutions and Cold-Chain Optimisation – Hubbard's solutions serve the food-retail, pharmaceutical and transport refrigeration markets, delivering systems which support sustainable cold-chain practices and food-waste reduction.
• Research and Development Enabling Sustainability at Scale – significant investment in Hubbard's R&D facility supports faster innovation, enabling efficient, high-performance refrigeration that aligns with circular-economy principles and the Daikin sustainability strategy (https://manufacturing-today.com/news/embarking-further-on...).

Why Sustainability Matters

For retailers, food-manufacturers, transport logistics and pharmaceutical operators, refrigeration is no longer just about keeping things cold, it is about efficiency, compliance and climate impact. Hubbard's focus on sustainable refrigeration means cost savings, regulatory alignment, especially around future F-gas and refrigerant regulation (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/bans-on-f-gas-in-new-products...), and contribution to broader environmental goals.

Through investment in research, adoption of low-GWP refrigerants, manufacturing innovations and alignment with Daikin's net-zero mission, Hubbard is helping set a new standard for sustainable refrigeration. The cold chain is getting cooler, in every sense of the word.

Hubbard consistently deliver on performance, durability, efficiency and sustainability. For further information please see www.hubbard.co.uk.
