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.
