A turning point in the context of sustainability was the year 1990. At the so-called London Conference, the production and use of CFCs (and CFRPs) was severely restricted or completely banned internationally from the year 2000 onwards. Germany reacted more quickly and banned CFCs as refrigerants in refrigerators from 1995, and BSH began to develop CFC-free refrigerators. In 1993, just three years after the London Conference, BSH launched the first CFC-free appliances in Europe. The international switchover, most recently at BSH's Chinese site in Chuzhou, was completed by 1999, and since then only CFC- and HFC-free refrigerators have been coming off the production line.
