What requirements are there to remove ODS from refrigeration equipment?
Controlled substances should be recovered for destruction, or for recycling or reclamation during the servicing and maintenance of equipment, or before the dismantling or final disposal of equipment. For fridges and freezers this applies to any controlled ODS used as the refrigerant and/or the blowing agent (in the insulation foam). As the insulation foam is integral to units specialised facilities to extract ODS from the foam are necessary.
