Governments around the world have identified a range of refrigerant gases as problematic, setting strict usage limits and performance standards to ensure that new refrigerant products are better for the planet. The goal is to regulate F-gases until they’re completely phased out in the next decade, which will drastically reduce damaging emissions and help to slow the progress of climate change.
It’s understandable that businesses might not want the financial stress of retrofitting or entirely replacing their existing refrigeration systems. However, it’s a future-proof investment that will benefit your business for years to come. There’s no getting around the fact that F-gases and other restricted or banned substances are on the way out, so it’s not worth clinging onto them anymore.
Switching to natural refrigerants now makes smart business sense. Not only does it save you from owing hundreds of thousands of pounds – if not millions – in civil penalties, but it could also save you money on running costs due to their increased energy efficiency. Your green credentials can also attract more customers, as sustainable values are more important than ever to consumers.
