The production of refrigerant R-12, a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), was halted as part of the global commitment to the Montreal Protocol, which aimed to phase out substances that deplete the ozone layer. As of January 1, 1996, R-12 ceased production, leading to a shift towards more environmentally friendly alternatives. The prohibition was enacted to reduce the harmful impacts of CFCs on the atmosphere and promote the use of refrigerants with lower ozone-depleting potential.
