Technical Support and Investment Project for the Phaseout of Ozone Depleting Substances

The project eliminated production of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the Czech Republic (approx. 2000 tons ODP annually in the early 1990s). It established a national refrigerant recovery/ reclamation/recycling (3R) program. It phased out CFCs in certain commercial, industrial and transport refrigeration systems, as well as introduced low and non-ozone-depleting foam technologies. An estimated 390 metric tons ODP was scheduled for phase-out.
