What happened
The New Zealand government introduced legislation to formally regulate the country’s product stewardship scheme for F-gases. The Trust for the Destruction of Synthetic Refrigerants will lead the sector’s transition to a single national framework before the regulated scheme begins on April 1, 2027. The first set of regulations requires full sector participation and mandated reporting of F-gas sales, distribution, and usage.
Why it matters
The new regulations establish controls around the destruction of synthetic refrigerants and require comprehensive reporting across the entire lifecycle of F-gases. A second tranche of regulations, taking effect in 2030, will introduce new competency requirements for handling synthetic refrigerants.
