Not only was Cool-Safe the first scheme to offer you rewards for your end-of-life recovered refrigerant - we're also continuing to look to the future by reinvesting our proceeds back into the refrigerants industry here in Aotearoa New Zealand! It's a win-win for all of us.
Thanks for all the great feedback we've received on our latest investment announced last month - our $500,000 per annum commitment to support training and your Continuous Professional Development (CPD) - we'll have more news on progress with that programme of work soon.
We're also always continuing to explore ways we can make destroying your end-of-life refrigerant with us as rewarding, easy and effective as possible.
Did you know you can drop your refrigerant to us in any kind of cylinder as long as it meets New Zealand safety standards?
