Our work in the Middle East

Learn more about Tradewater's work finding and destroying old refrigerants across the Middle East.

Collecting and destroying potent greenhouse gases

CFCs that were produced and imported in various countries across the Middle East before the phase-out was completed in 2010, remaining in the hands of importers and retailers, or within equipment that is now being replaced with newer models.

Tradewater is working locally to acquire this material. We have already collected thousands of kilograms of refrigerants, and are working to ensure that others remaining are found, collected and properly destroyed.

“Our work in the Middle East is driven by a shared determination with our Saudi partners—a group of young, climate-conscious individuals committed to making a lasting impact on the environment and the lives of the Kingdom’s people. We firmly believe that our initiatives in Saudi Arabia go beyond addressing climate change; they are about empowering communities, and inspiring a brighter tomorrow for future generations.”
