The UK leads the world in refrigerant reclamation, according to a major report published in the US.

Friday, April 1, 2016

The Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) has studied refrigerant management and recycling programmes worldwide and found that the UK had the highest reported rate of recovery at between 65 and 92% - ahead of other major economies including Australia, Canada, California, the EU, Japan, China and Brazil.

As well as being a considerable environmental protection accolade for the UK refrigeration and air conditioning industry, this reflects very positively on the work of Refcom. Members of Refcom account for more than 80% of the total UK refrigerant handling market so the vast majority of UK data gathered for the AHRI report would have been as a result of the work of Refcom members.
