On "A Gas Selected to Support California Air Resources Board’s REFRESH Pilot Program"

California's refrigerant rules are turning into a compliance minefield, and distributors like A Gas are betting that certified reclaimed product becomes the path of least resistance for techs who don't want to chase certifications or documentation all day. The real play here isn't about environmental compliance—it's about making reclaimed refrigerant look easier and cheaper than getting licensed, trained, and audited to handle virgin stock. If CARB can make certified reclaimed the default option in the supply chain, shops stop fighting regulations and just buy what's available. That's how policy actually moves the needle.
