Stop using R404A – now on video

EUROPE: The leading European contractor and manufacturers’ groups campaigning to stop the use of high GWP refrigerants R404A and R507 have now produced a video.

Following on from its multi-lingual publication with the stark message “If you want to stay in business, you have to stop installing R404A/R507A – now!”, the group has now produced a short video on the same theme.

The video by industry group partners EPEE, AREA, EFCTC and ASERCOM complements the brochure and serves as an additional medium to communicate important messages to the installers across Europe.

Just like the brochure, the video has been developed in a number of languages – Dutch, English, French, Italian, Romanian and Spanish.

All these versions are available on the AREA Youtube channel
