We acquire your refrigerant

If you have unused or recovered refrigerant gas, we are interested in acquiring it from you through the following 3 steps:

1. Share the details of your refrigerant

We first need to know what type of refrigerant gases you hold, quantity, status (recovered or unused), location, and your contact information. Scroll down to learn what types of refrigerant we can acquire from you!

2. Get an offer

Based on the details you share, we will make you an offer for your refrigerant with financial, logistical and time considerations on a case-by-case basis.

3. Arrange for confirmation and acquisition

Lastly, Tradewater inspects the material to confirm its eligibility, and then we acquire and collect the refrigerant gases.
