Regular readers of our blog are familiar with the concept of the cold chain. It is something that we take for granted in the West, yet something that is desperately needed in developing countries. As such, a brand-new commission has been formed to look at the future of the cold chain and how it can be utilised to end food waste and worldwide hunger. Its scope will go well beyond things such as retail refrigeration and refrigerated trailer rental.
Lord Robin Teverson, climate change spokesperson for the Liberal Democrats, has been chosen to lead the cross-industry commission in conjunction with the Birmingham Energy Institute at the University of Birmingham. Teverson makes no apologies for his position that rising global temperatures are increasing the demand for a reliable cold chain around the world. He also sees the wasting of as much as 30% of the world's food supply as a scandal that needs to be addressed.
The commission will look at the future of the cold chain in relation to five questions summarised here:
Whether or not the commission comes up with any practical solutions to the current weaknesses in the cold chain remains to be seen. But there is no way to understand how things can be improved without first taking a look at where we are now and where we will be in the future if nothing changes.

If we are to continue being a leading player in the local cold chain, we must continue meeting the needs of our clients as we have been for more than 20 years.

It also means providing them with reliable equipment that they will not have to worry about for the duration of their rental.
Icecool Trailers is committed to providing long and short-term temporary refrigeration for both emergency and planned events. Our refrigerated trailer rental also includes freezer trailers, delivered to your location and set up with complete shelving and lighting.
