The RAL Quality Assurance Association for the Demanufacture of Refrigeration Equipment Containing CFCs was created to guarantee quality in the fridge recycling process and to ensure compliance with existing environmental standards. The quality of the fridge recycling process is of huge importance because, as we all now know, the chloroflurocarbons (CFCs) present in end-of-life fridges and freezers are the primary cause of stratospheric ozone destruction as well as being significant contributors to the global greenhouse effect.

It is therefore essential that all the CFCs trapped within waste refrigeration appliances are recovered and then destroyed in an environmentally acceptable manner. To ensure that these requirements are met to the full, testing and monitoring schemes must be in place that guarantee compliance with appropriate fridge recycling quality standards.

Clients of fridge recycling companies displaying the RAL quality mark are guaranteed:

	certified state-of-the-art fridge recycling services,
	absolute compliance with environmental standards recognised throughout Europe,
	complete recovery of CFCs and their subsequent environmentally benign destruction,
	material retrieval rates of 98 % and the recovery of secondary raw materials,
	annual quality testing by independent and accredited expert auditors, and
	that all aspects of the fridge recycling service are carried out in an environmentally sound manner

With more than 22 members in a total of seven European countries, the RAL Quality Assurance Association for the Demanufacture of Refrigeration Equipment Containing CFCs will ensure that you get the very best in fridge recycling services.
