COMPRESSORS Creating a true


‘circular economy’ is the biggest challenge and opportunity facing the industry


Transforming the cooling industry into a true ‘circular economy’ that works hand-in-glove with new equipment supply is the biggest challenge and greatest opportunity facing the sector, according to Green Point UK, Bitzer UK’s specialist services arm.


"T he current focus is understandably on

approach, being the only compressor supplier in the UK to operate an integrated remanufacturing facility to process end- of-life systems for return as-new to the market. Kevin Glass, managing director of Bitzer UK, says: “The


circular economy approach is not just an alternative business model, it is a practical necessity for the future. At Bitzer UK and Green Point UK, we’re already seeing the positive impact of compressor remanufacturing on reducing waste  performance of equipment."
