    The US mandated a switch-over for new equipment, pursuant to the Kigali amendment. Problem is that there’s a ton of older refrigerants currently in use, and if we don’t actively dispose of the equipment containing them, they’ll leak into the atmosphere as the equipment ages and breaks.

      Yep, CO2, Ammonia and HFOs are probably our best bets at the minute to reduce global warming and keeping refrigeration systems.
