OZONE DEPLETION

During the last years it has been a crisis with the ozone layer, that’s why in 1987, there was an international agreement that prohibited the use of some chemicals that are dangerous for the ozone layer and the environment.  

​

Since 2010, Colombia has been taking steps to reduce the substances that harm the environment and deplete the ozone layer. These actions have eliminated the use of harmful chemicals as the hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) in the manufacturing of refrigerators domestically.

​

This affects our organization because we are an organization that try to be with the hand of the environment and  we have to follow the processes to protect the environment. This kind of agreements could change the materials used for the manufacturing products that we sell in our company.
