In case you didn't already know, the EPA has initiated a phase-out of HCFC manufacturing and use (link to EPA site below) based on the Montreal Protocol.

With this pending EPA phase-out of HCFCs, I was wondering if MROs were already in the midst of planning to convert over to EPA-compliant solvents. If so, what are some of the challenges you are encountering as part of your conversion?

After doing some research on my earlier question regarding HCFCs and the EPA phase-out, I came across this related webinar. It looks pertinent and I thought I'd share it with the board:
