The Importance of Recovery
The recovery of refrigerant gas and its subsequent reclamation is a key pillar of lifecycle refrigerant management (LRM).
At A-Gas, we recover and reclaim used gases to minimise the amount of virgin product being created and, at the same time, prevent their release into the atmosphere. Where the future reuse of refrigerant is no longer possible, A-Gas provides customers and partners with a United Nations, Technical Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP)-approved destruction technology .
Recovery and reclamation are the circular economy in action at A-Gas.
Managing the lifecycle of refrigerants is an effective way to mitigate their environmental impact. LRM aims to ensure that: “no kilogram or pound of refrigerant, once produced, is released into the atmosphere*.”
When customers and contractors maintain, decommission or retrofit systems, it is essential the refrigerant is safely recovered and not released into the atmosphere.

Recovery has a significant impact on the planet and its future. As the global emphasis on meeting climate targets becomes increasingly urgent, we anticipate that the recovery, reclamation and reuse of refrigerants, along with a stronger focus on reducing any associated emissions, will come to the forefront as being a key part of the climate solution.
Together, we can build a more sustainable future.
