    What did you learn about the climate impact of refrigerants? How do supermarkets contribute to this impact?

    Mirrudula P's avatar

    Supermarkets rely heavily on refrigeration systems to keep food fresh. Inadequate maintenance of refrigeration systems can lead to increased leakage of refrigerants. Regular checks and proper servicing are essential to minimize this impact. Improper disposal of refrigeration equipment can lead to the release of refrigerants into the atmosphere.
