Our Activities

To follow our vision and accelerate a global shift to sustainable refrigerant management and closing the loop to a circular economy in the cooling sector, COPA members engage in various activities.

COPA...
  • Brings together and networks all relevant actors – from both private and public sectors.
  • Raises awareness on the topic of ODS and HFC banks through global dialogue and exchange.
  • Prepares market studies and concepts for the pilot implementation of mitigation measures in diverse regions.
  • Shares technical know-how and findings to promote mutual learning and progress in sustainable refrigerant management.
  • Helps drive governmental policies and regulations for an effective management of ODS and HFC banks.
  • Provides the responsible parties – both private and public – with tailored guidelines, tools, and mitigation solutions to reduce emissions from ODS and HFC banks.
  • Gives partners access to the funding and support needed to enact mitigation measures, whether reuse, reclamation, or destruction mechanisms.

This is a short overview of the different types of services COPA provides to various stakeholders.

Our Activities focus on four topics
