IMPACT IN ACTION
In August 2024, Worthington Enterprises announced the extension of its Class A2L refrigerant cylinder product line to include a complete suite of non-refillable, refillable and recovery cylinders.
Increased adoption of A2L refrigerants is a result of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s directive to phase down HFC refrigerants during the next 10 years, according to Wayne Powers, sales director of cooling, construction, and specialty products, Building Products, Worthington Enterprises.
“The transition to A2L refrigerants in residential and light commercial equipment is well underway. We moved quickly to support our customers and help accelerate use of these refrigerants that have a significantly lower global warming potential by expanding our portfolio to include additional options that are specifically designed to safely store and transport A2L refrigerant gases. Worthington Enterprises is committed to meeting the evolving needs of our customers while championing safety and sustainability.”
