Due to a lack of incentives as well as a range of technical and regulatory barriers, appropriate infrastructure for the recovery, collection, reuse, reclaimation and destruction of waste containing ODS and HFC remains scarce, especially in the Global South. The thematic working group (TWG) on technology solutions is a platform for sector experts and various stakeholders to exchange on ODS and HFC recovery, reclamation and destruction technologies. Are you active in the field of ODS and HFC recovery, reclamation and destruction technologies? Would you like to strengthen your collaboration with partners? Releasing ODS and HFC into the atmosphere becomes unthinkable after hearing about technology solutions offered by this working group. Experts from the private sector, civil society and public institutions from all over the world provide guidance on technologies and solutions for ODS and HFC recovery, reclamation, and destruction. Joint meetings, of which there have already been three, enable the discussion and presentation of studies, technologies, and solutions from various stakeholders. These included, for example the feasibility of selected ODS/HFC reclamation and destruction technologies for Article 5 countries and recycling and reuse/reclamation activities in China - and there is plenty of scope for presenting further exciting infrastructure and technology solutions! We are looking forward to working with you. The working group is coordinated by UNIDO and GIZ.

For an effective management of refrigerants and foams at end-of-life, suitable policy measures are required like venting bans or mandatory recovery Working towards the best technical solutions for ODS and HFC recovery, Developing financial mechanisms for sustainable GHG mitigation measures in ODS and HFC banks. Putting theory into practice and demonstrating how sustainable refrigerant management can be implemented.About
