Is your business ready for California's transition to low-GWP refrigerants?
A new law designed to support the food retail and cold storage industries in transitioning from synthetic HCF to ultra-low GWP natural refrigerant are now in full force, and they have significant implications for your business operations.
What is SB 1206 Regulation?
- SB 1206 bans the sale and use of bulk HFCs with >2200 GWP
- Starting January 1, 2025, virgin high-GWP refrigerants will no longer be available for sale in California.
Transition to low-GWP refrigerants now to avoid disruptions and ensure compliance.
