Watch Trakref Founder &amp; CEO, Ted Atwood, explain that many older buildings have antiquated refrigeration systems that contain harmful CFCs. Although your systems may still function, they are very likely leaking right now.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, recycling these gasses is one solution. But recycling unintentionally sends these back into use, which will ultimately lead to 100% emissions into our atmosphere. Now, Trakref is working to instead destroy all used refrigerants worldwide at the molecular level, so they never end up vented into the atmosphere to do more harm.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the webinar to learn more about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Global warming potential (GWP) of refrigerants vs. CO2<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Evidence of refrigerant reclamation\u2019s failure<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The 13 gigatons of CO2 in refrigerants, air conditioning, and foams<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">ESRAG\u2019s refrigerant drawdown<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The Rotary International donation program<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Global Warming Potential<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div data-widget-id=\"34f620b3-b1bb-44fb-0b17-37b37dfae213\">\n<div data-widget-type=\"LpTextReact\">\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>1GWP<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 CO2<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>4,750 GWP\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 R-11 (used in commercial cooling, residential air conditioners, foam blowing agent)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>10,900 GWP<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 R-12 (used in commercial cooling, residential refrigeration, air conditioners)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Drawdown<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div data-widget-id=\"34f620b3-b1bb-44fb-0b17-37b37dfae213\">\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Guidance on best practice in refrigeration management<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Co-branding opportunities<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Metrics for corporate sustainability reporting<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Networking opportunities across the membership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decades of evidence show that recycling didn\u2019t work.
