Role

RRA aims to maximise the recovery, reclamation and destruction of contaminated, surplus and unwanted ozone depleting and synthetic greenhouse gas refrigerants and, in doing so, minimise emissions.

RRA encourages contractors to 'think before they turn the valve'. It:

• works with governments to help ensure Australia's environmental protocols are understood, and acted upon, by industry
  
  
• supports industry's commitment to reduce ozone depletion and greenhouse gas emissions
  
  
• helps contractors and wholesalers, and importers comply with legislation at minimum cost
  
  
• provides rebates for collected refrigerants (non-flammable, non-toxic ones)
  
  
• operates a national collection service, which transports recovered refrigerants to a central, secure storage facility where they are destroyed using cost-effective, environmentally safe technology
  
  
• conducts educational and promotional campaigns for industry.
