A-Gas UK offers refrigerant banking as a solution to R22 phase out

R22 is one of the most commonly used refrigerants in the UK. It is widely used in air conditioning units and extensively in the food industry from manufacturing and processing to food storage and transportation. The EC-wide ban of HCFC’s that came into force on 1st January 2010 has far reaching implications. Many end-users are still unaware of their legal obligations and the refrigerant industry is working hard to inform users and help them plan a strategy that best suits their company’s requirements.... see full article under General News.
