A new online platform represents Europe’s first fluorinated gas marketplace to promote the circular use of refrigerants extracted from HVACR equipment. Developed under the European Union-funded Life3R project, RETRADEABLES supports the economically feasible recovery of market-distributed used gas stocks, enabling the recycling, reclamation and reuse of wasted used fluorinated gases.

As the supply of these gases is phased down, circular use has a vital role to play in the reduction of the lifecycle’s carbon footprint through HVACR use. Powered by live transaction data, RETRADEABLES gives decision-makers a critical edge by connecting them to a dynamic and traceable network of recycling and reclaiming data and suitable contacts. Used refrigerant gases are traded on the platform and once recycled or reclaimed to industry standards, the reclaimed gas re-enters the market.

The online marketplace provides a sustainable solution for society to extend their existing stock with used fluorinated gases reclaimed to their original industry standard and to compensate the constrained virgin gas supply.
