Refrigerants & ODS
Ozone depletion and global warming.
CFCs, HCFCs, and HFCs
These synthetic chemicals used in cooling have catastrophic impacts on the ozone layer and global climate. HFCs can be thousands of times more potent than CO2 in terms of Global Warming Potential (GWP).
Illegal Trade & The Montreal Protocol
The illegal dumping of these substances in African markets undermines the Montreal Protocol and the Kigali Amendment, creating a massive environmental justice issue while delaying the global transition to clean cooling.
