Refrigerant Buy-Back Programme
For almost thirty years, we've disposed of New Zealand's end-of-life refrigerants. These synthetic refrigerants (F-gases) are recovered through our collection network and Coolest Courier Service, then destroyed at approved onshore facilities.
We now offer financial incentives for depositing end-of-life refrigerants at our collection sites, driving increased recovery nationwide. We accept mixed or single-stream HFCs, HCFCs and CFCs through Coolest Courier. Minimum: 10kg per cylinder.
Buy-Back Programmes
Earn money for your refrigerants
In October 2022, Cool-Safe introduced two Buy-Back Programmes to reward companies and technicians for sending synthetic refrigerants for destruction - with the aim of encouraging more to do the same.
In May 2024, the Buy-Back payment increased from $25 to $40 per kg + GST* of recovered refrigerant. The Bulk Refrigerant Buy-Back Programme (200kg+) attracts higher rates. All refrigerant collected is destroyed. Minimum collection: 10kg.
Contact us to learn more about our Buy-Back Programmes.
*R11 and R123 are accepted through Cool-Safe. The buy-back incentive paid is POA. Please contact our team for further information.
