In this episode of Business Insider’s “World Wide Waste,” we follow Ecologia Total’s Angel Toledo, who, with the support of Tradewater, embarks on the difficult task of managing refrigerant gas from scrapped fridges.
Explore our first international project from 2017 in Ghana. We collected and destroyed 15,000 kg of CFC-12 through two projects, resulting in the issuance of more than 150,000 tons of carbon offset credits.
Giving Green, an initiative that studies and recommends various environmentally focused projects, gave Tradewater the stamp of approval by adding us to the list of organizations worthy of support.
Giving Green states, “purchasing Tradewater offsets has a direct link to decreasing the amount of GHGs in the atmosphere.”
Chicago, IL – Our pilot project in collaboration with Iron Mountain (NYSE: IRM) and Wesco HMB, demonstrates an economically viable, environmentally responsible end-of-life solution for halon gas, one of the world’s most dangerous greenhouse gasses. The destruction of the world’s remaining halon gas could eliminate over 300 million tons of carbon pollution worldwide, or the equivalent of eliminating the annual greenhouse gas emissions of more than 65 million cars.
