Tailwinds

  • The EPA’s Refrigerant Management Rule, mandating the use of reclaimed refrigerants for certain equipment and service sectors, is expected to be finalized in the coming month.
  • The phasedown of HFCs will ultimately move pricing higher.
  • The phasedown of HFCs will accelerate reclamation activity.
  • The phasedown of HFCs will drive enhanced profitability in our business.
