WHO WE ARE
The voice of refrigerant distribution in Europe.
Euredia is the pan-European association of refrigerant distributors, repackers and reclaimers.
We represent companies that play a central role in ensuring that refrigerants are placed on the EU market legally, safely and responsibly.
By bringing together industry expertise and European policymaking, Euredia supports the effective implementation of EU legislation and promotes practical, workable solutions for the sector.
Euredia provides policymakers with operational insight into how refrigerant rules work in practice, bridging policy and market reality.
MISSION
Euredia exists to protect the integrity of the European refrigerant market and ensure that EU climate legislation delivers real impact.
Our work focuses on three core priorities:
Ensuring Compliance
Supporting proper implementation
and enforcement of EU rules
across all Member States.
Strengthening Market Integrity
Tackling illegal trade
and ensuring a level playing field for responsible operators.
Advancing Circularity
Promoting effective recovery,
recycling and reclamation
of refrigerants.
MEMBERSHIP
Our members are committed to building a complaint,
transparent and circular refrigerant market.

FAQ
What is a refrigerant?
A refrigerant is a substance used in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems to absorb and transfer heat. In the EU, refrigerants are regulated chemicals, meaning their production, use, recovery and end-of-life management are governed by the F-gas Regulation.
What does reclamation mean?
Reclamation is the process of treating used refrigerants in certified facilities, so they are restored to virgin-equivalent quality. Once reclaimed, these refrigerants can be placed back on the market under EU rules.
Reclamation plays a central role in enabling circularity in the sector, as it reduces the need for new refrigerant production while ensuring high quality and compliance standards.
How do you recycle refrigerants?
Recycling refrigerants involves the basic cleaning or reprocessing of refrigerants recovered from equipment so they can be reused. This treatment removes some impurities, making the refrigerant suitable for reuse, typically by the same operator.
However, unlike reclamation, recycling does not restore refrigerants to virgin-equivalent quality. As a result, recycled refrigerants are subject to more limited uses under EU law and cannot be freely placed back on the market.
