The North American HVAC industry is committed to reducing the environmental impact caused by refrigerants throughout their entire life cycle by strictly managing refrigerants during production and after sales, and recovering, reclaiming or destroying refrigerants after use.
EPA is counting on increased recovery and reclamation in order to maintain existing HVAC equipment, and finally, the numbers are going in the right direction.
New report finds that GHGs can be reduced significantly through the use of reclaimed refrigerant versus producing and using newly manufactured virgin refrigerant.
