Obligation to Recover CFCs
Chlorofluorocarbons and Hydrofluorocarbons (collectively referred to as "CFCs" on our website) used as refrigerants in car air conditioners cause ozone depletion and global warming, and international policy now calls for their reduction and elimination. The Automobile Recycling Law requires that a CFCs recovery company recover fluorocarbons.
CFCs collection and destruction consignment
Automobile manufacturers are responsible for taking back the CFCs delivered by the CFC recovery operators and entrusting them to be destroyed.
Collection Standards
Automobile manufacturers have established Collection Standards to ensure safety in the collection, storage, and transportation processes, as well as to achieve convenience and social efficiency for CFC recovery operators.
*Please note that if the "Properties," "Packing Style," and "Pick-up Method" specified in the collection standards are not met, the pick-up will be refused in principle, and no charge will be made for the recovery of CFCs.
