Freybe always keeps our future in mind and only uses what is needed to reduce our impact to the environment for future generations.

• Special rain water filtration system for the local Salmon Bearing Stream.
• $2.4 million investment on a state of the art ammonia cooling/freezer (together with more effective insulation material) enabling us to achieve cooling/freezing with 50% less energy.
• $1 million investment in waste water treatment before released into Langley waste water system.
• State of the art "closed system" smokehouse, reducing exhaust smoke by 99%, thus reducing our natural gas usage by 35% with no need to "burn off "exhaust smoke.
• Building materials (Zeroloc panels) with a high "sustainability" factor as panels can be easily moved and recycled.
• Supports and encourages carpooling and bike riding.
• Educating associates in ways to reduce and save electrical energy
• Recycling bins for paper, bottles, cans, etc.

Freybe always plans to go further and do even more. Look for us to include the following in our near future:

• Modifications to our waste water treatment system to reduce disposal of waste.
• A heat recovery project to recover heat that is being exhausted into the atmosphere over the refrigeration plant.
• Solar panel project.
• Working with Smart Waste to find a solution for the recycling of our waste packaging film.
• Change half of the fleet of delivery vehicles to Mercedes Sprinter with diesel motors.
