Our Impact

We have no other world to move to.
gases refrigerantes
The production of CFC refrigerant gases is banned worldwide and the phase-out of HCFCs is already being implemented. However, there are still ancient inventories of CFC refrigerant in the world at risk of escaping into the atmosphere, as well as air conditioners, refrigerators, and other refrigeration systems that constantly leak CFC and HCFC refrigerant gas into the atmosphere. Our mission is to find, collect, and destroy these CFCs and HCFCs before they are released into the atmosphere. The release of these refrigerant gases has a high environmental impact both at the level of depletion of the ozone layer and as a contribution to global warming.

For example, a molecule of R-12 released into the atmosphere can increase global warming by 10,900 times more than a molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2). Similarly, an R-22 can increase 1810 times more than a carbon dioxide molecule. This is why collecting and supplying these gases becomes a critical action to combat global warming and depletion in the ozone layer.

ELIGIBLE REFRIGERANT GASES

RefriCazadores works with CFC and HCFC refrigerant gases. The types of CFC and HCFC refrigerant gases that are eligible might vary in each country at the time of disposal. Please reach out to us for more information on your specific country.
The eligible refrigerant gases are destroyed under international protocols to generate carbon credits. These carbon credits are sold in national and international carbon markets.
