A-Gas Launches Reclaim Rewards with Airefrig and Actrol
A-Gas Launches Reclaim Rewards with Airefrig and Actrol
Driving increased refrigerant recovery across Australia’s HVAC-R industry
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 30 April 2026: A‑Gas, in collaboration with leading HVAC-R wholesale partners Actrol and Airefrig, has today announced the launch of Reclaim Rewards, a nationwide program designed to encourage and recognise responsible refrigerant recovery across the Australian HVAC-R industry.
The Reclaim Rewards program supports a sustainable approach to lifecyle refrigerant management by increasing recovered refrigerant for reclamation and reuse. By keeping refrigerants in circulation, the program helps reduce emissions, support continuity of supply, and reduces reliance on newly manufactured product.
“Responsible refrigerant recovery is one of the most effective ways our industry can reduce environmental impact while ensuring reliable access to refrigerants,” said Brett Ferguson, Managing Director of A‑Gas Australia. “Reclaim Rewards recognises businesses already leading the way in refrigerant recovery and supports greater participation across the industry.”
Industry collaboration
To bring Reclaim Rewards to market, A-Gas has partnered with Actrol and Airefrig to make participation simple for HVAC-R businesses, using existing refrigerant return processes through their branch networks.
“As a wholesale partner, Actrol is committed to supporting sustainable practices that benefit both our customers and the wider industry,” said Mark Heliar, Category Lead – Refrigeration at Actrol. “Reclaim Rewards makes responsible recovery simple and accessible, while helping contractors contribute to meaningful environmental outcomes and be rewarded at the same time.”
Airefrig echoed the importance of industry collaboration.
“At Airefrig, we’re committed to supporting HVAC-R businesses with practical solutions that improve operational efficiency and environmental outcomes,” said Stephen Cross, General Manager at Airefrig Australia. “Reclaim Rewards encourages responsible recovery, and we’re proud to support the program and help drive positive change across the HVAC-R sector.”
How Reclaim Rewards works
HVAC‑R businesses can register for the Reclaim Rewards program and continue returning recovered refrigerant through participating Actrol and Airefrig branches as part of their normal operations. Businesses are recognised and rewarded for increasing returned refrigerant volumes, including eligibility to win a trip to Japan.
The program runs over a 12‑month period and is designed to reward sustained improvements in recovery behaviour, rather than one‑off returns. Terms and conditions apply, with full details available at reclaimrewards.agas.com.
Why reclaim refrigerant matters
Recovered refrigerant that is reclaimed to AHRI Standard 700 can be safely reused, delivering long-term benefits for both the environment and the industry. Through responsible recovery and reclamation, Reclaim Rewards helps to:
- Reduces emissions associated with refrigerant leaks and virgin manufacture
- Support a circular economy by keeping valuable refrigerants in use
- Maintain continuity of supply for essential cooling and refrigeration applications
- Reduces dependence on virgin refrigerant production
Registration now open
Registrations for Reclaim Rewards are now open. Australian HVAC‑R businesses are encouraged to register and take part in the program. For more information or to register, visit reclaimrewards.agas.com
