Cool-Safe is Aotearoa New Zealands only environmental trust, collecting and destroying F-gases, and paying you for doing the right thing. We're putting everything in place to enable 100% of recoverable refrigerants to be destroyed, and we need Aotearoa to help us do it.

Refrigerants (F-gases) power our fridges, heat pumps and air conditioners. But when released, they can be climate catastrophes, trapping up to 10,000× more heat than CO₂. The main issue is that most aren't recovered at end-of-life. Limited knowledge, weak regulation and inconsistent practices mean these super-pollutants simply escape. New Zealand is targeting a 35% emissions cut by 2035. Cool-Safe is targeting 90% for F-gases specifically, from 2018 levels.

We're putting initiatives in place to enable 100% of recoverable refrigerants to be destroyed. We need 100% of Aotearoa New Zealand to be on the same page.

As New Zealand's only environmental trust managing a refrigerant collection, recovery and destruction service, we're developing Buy Back programmes, our own swap-a-bottle programme (Cool-Swap) and will be able to destroy the refrigerant collected through Cool-Safe through the country's first onshore plasma arc destruction plant in Kawerau.
