SAVE THE EARTH
Exchange For The Next Generation
Old refrigerants can harm the ozone layer and contribute to global warming. Refrigerant recovery uses specialized equipment to safety remove refrigerant from old air conditioners, protecting the environment.
How Earth’s Ozone Layer has Changed in Recent Decades
The Impacts on Our Daily Lives
Increased UV Radiation:
Ozone depletion leads to higher levels of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth’s surface. This can cause skin cancer, cataracts, and other health issues in humans, as well as damaging plant life and marine ecosystems.
Harm to Marine Life:
Higher UV radiation affects phytoplankton, the foundational organisms in the ocean food web. Phytoplankton are crucial for the survival of many marine species, and their decline can disrupt the entire marine ecosystem.
Global Warming:
Increase in earth’s average temperature is affecting our daily lives by causing more extreme weather, rising sea levels, disrupted food supplies, and increased health risks.
What is refrigerant recovery?
In simple terms, refrigerant recovery involves transferring the refrigerant from an air-conditioning system into a refillable cylinder during repairs or replacements. This process prevents the refrigerant from leaking into the atmosphere, which helps avoid the release of ozone-depleting and greenhouse gases. These substances are used to transfer heat in these systems but can be harmful to the environment and human health if not handled properly. It also reduces the need to produce new refrigerants.
Daikin Environmental Vision 2050
Towards Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions
In 2018, Daikin formulated Environmental Vision 2050, with a target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.
We will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions generated throughout the entire lifecycle of our products. Furthermore, we are committed to creating solutions that link society and customers as we work with stakeholders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero.
Using IoT and AI, and open innovation attempts, we will meet the world’s needs for air solutions by providing safe and healthy air environments while at the same time contributing to solving global environmental problems.
