The Commission says the Montreal Protocol allows «unlimited» production of
CFCs as feedstocks, and puts no limit on trade in used chemicals because recycling is better for the environment than prod - ucing new chemicals.
However, it could be related to increased use of this chemical
as a solvent in place of other long - lived chemicals (e.g.
CFCs and HCFCs) that have been phased out, or from use
as feedstock in the production of other chemicals.»
