We placed emphasis on the quality of materials used, in particular that they are made almost entirely from recycled sources and can themselves be recycled at the end of their useful life.

We selected Aerofoil Energy following our independent laboratory trials, which demonstrated that Aerofoils significantly outperformed alternative shelf-edge technology.

Sainsbury's annual electricity bill is in the hundreds of millions of pounds, and refrigeration accounts for about half of that. Fitting the aerofoils is reducing the chain's refrigeration costs by up to 15%

Paul Crewe - Sainsbury's Head of Sustainability

Like all the Walmart family, we're committed to lowering our energy use... The rollout of Aerofoils will significantly help us in achieving this target, as well as improving the shopping experience for our customers

Brian Churchyard - Senior Manager for Construction Design Standards, Asda

Fitting Aerofoils across our retail estate will make a major contribution to our corporate responsibility programme, most importantly by lowering our energy consumption and related emissions, but also by improving product quality and reducing product waste.

Clare Meehan - Head of Stores and Supply Chain Finance, WHSmith

Aerofoils are central to our sustainability agenda for the UK and internationally. The technology also brings improvements to product temperatures, which will help us reduce shrinkage and food waste, another key component of our environmental strategy.

Supermarket chains potentially save around £100 million a year... Around 260 million kg of CO2 are saved annually... On the global stage, this UK product has the potential to make a massive impact in terms of energy usage and lower carbon footprint

Dr. Dame Sue Ion DBE FREng FRS - Chair, MacRobert Award Judging Panel

We’re committed to becoming a Net Zero business by 2040 and have already begun to make headway by investing substantial time, research and money into different areas that can help us achieve this goal – including the fitting of the pioneering Aerofoil technology.

Dave Merefield - Carbon, Utilities and Engineering Manager

By lowering our energy consumption, Aerofoils will make a significant contribution to our target reduction in gross emissions of 30% by 2020. Aerofoils are therefore a major component in our corporate environmental strategy.

David Greenshields - Development Project Manager, ScotMid Cooperative

We continue to engage with Aerofoil Energy on extended application of their Aerofoil and Vortex technology in our existing and new stores.

Aerofoils help the airflow around Formula One cars and improve their performance - and that's exactly how they help the fridges in our stores... by keeping the cold air in.
