R290 Refrigerant: The Natural Way to Cool, Comply & Save
What is R290?
R290 refrigerant—high-purity propane—replaces high-global warming potential (GWP) hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in refrigerated displays. With zero ozone depletion potential and an ultra-low GWP of ~3, it already meets EPA SNAP, AIM Act and CARB rules, ensuring long-term compliance and sustainability.
JSI’s eco+™ line of self-contained refrigerated displays is built around this same commitment to sustainability, utilizing R290 to deliver energy-efficient performance without sacrificing merchandising appeal. Designed for durability, serviceability, and style, our eco+™ displays help retailers reduce their environmental impact while staying ahead of evolving regulatory standards.
