Freon Disposal and Recycling Log

These products are chemically stable, nonflammable, moderately toxic gases or liquids which have typically been used as refrigerants and as aerosol propellants. Freon has traditionally been used in air-conditioning systems, refrigerators, and spray cans. The most notable chemical compound type which many associate Freon with are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). CFCs are chemicals widely recognized as ozone-depleting chemicals and are also a potent greenhouse gas, with a much higher potential to enhance the greenhouse effect than CO2. Accordingly, when disposing of Freon, or products that contain Freon, it is imperative that this hazardous waste, or equipment that includes this dangerous waste, be carefully tracked and monitored when being disposed of. Freon disposal should not be done in the regular trash as this poses a major risk of environmental contamination. Using the Freon Disposal and Recycling Log app, users can be confident that this product does not end up in the waste stream, and that safe disposal protocols are closely followed and that manufacturers of Freon, companies using Freon, and waste management companies disposing of Freon know where and when its Freon is disposed of.
