EFCTC - Fluorocarbons & Sulphur Hexafluoride: Home

COMMERCIALLY USED HFCS
ARE OF LOW TOXICITY

EFCTC supports a global
agreement that reduces
HFC consumption

New technologies are implemented building on the
HFC consumption reduction already in place in the EU

EFCTC supports efforts
to reduce HFC emissions

Through manufacture, better containment,
and efficient use and re-use
