The LEGAL HFC 4 LIFE project was created in response to the growing problem of refrigerant smuggling in recent years. It aims to reduce HFC emissions from illegal trading by 42,000 tCO2e through the development and implementation of a model of cooperation and tools between public authorities and other entities. Achieving the greatest possible success requires effective cooperation between public authorities, the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump industry, and society as a whole.

The primary objective of the LEGAL HFC 4 LIFE project is to develop and implement a model of cooperation and tools between public authorities and other entities in order to improve monitoring in the area of HFCs and their illegal trading.
