Decades of evidence show that recycling didn’t work. But this time we don’t have decades.
Destroy all used Refrigerants? Absolutely. Watch Trakref Founder & CEO, Ted Atwood, explain that many older buildings have antiquated refrigeration systems that contain harmful CFCs. Although your systems may still function, they are very likely leaking right now.
Yes, recycling these gasses is one solution. But recycling unintentionally sends these back into use, which will ultimately lead to 100% emissions into our atmosphere. Now, Trakref is working to instead destroy all used refrigerants worldwide at the molecular level, so they never end up vented into the atmosphere to do more harm.
