Is your business ready for SB1206? 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 is now in full force, and it has 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 are no longer available for sale in California. 

 

Transition to low-GWP refrigerants now to avoid disruptions and ensure compliance.
