Chemours and Honeywell collaborate with European Union authorities to stall the unlawful importation of refrigerants in Greece

The two major global chemical firms, Honeywell and Chemours, have collaborated with the European Union firm, i.e., the Interagency for Market Control of Hellenic Ministry of Development (DIMEA), and police along with the customs department to permanently terminate the illegal importations of certain chemical refrigerants, specifically fluorinated gas (F-Gas), in Greece.

The search found around 15.6 tonnes of illicit chemical refrigerants. R-1234yf, a chemical used for cooling automotive, have also been seized. The officials from Greece have reported that the chemicals collected from the search have been tested and documented as illicit chemical compounds in the European Union.

The two major chemical giants, Chemours and Honeywell, have joined in to defend the Intellectual property (IP) of the chemical refrigerant innovations that are owned by them. The companies are also putting efforts into ensuring to terminate the usage of harmful F-gases in commercial refrigerants. This initiative has been taken in order to prevent and acknowledge unethical activities while safeguarding the economic, environmental as well as financial statuses of the society.

Furthermore, the esteemed president of Chemours Chemicals has stated that the company always stands strong in acknowledging its responsibility towards the customers and the industry they serve. There is an urgent need to respond to these unlawful pursuits in order to focus on creating a sustainable and healthy planet while maintaining an ethical commercial environment. While concluding, he stated that the more unregulated and unaccountable material enters the market, the greater it would affect the strategy to meet the climate objectives.

According to Procurement Resource, the chemical giant firms Honeywell and Chemours have joined hands, ensuring to terminate the illegal importations of certain commercial refrigerants in Greece. The harmful F-gases used in the cooling agents are winding down but are still prevailing through various black-market activities, which is why the chemical companies have tied a knot, ensuring to put a stoppage of these unlawful activities that demoralize the market strategies.
