March 13, 2006: ARI Releases Voluntary Guidelines to Reduce Emissions
ARLINGTON, Va. - To reduce emissions by manufacturing facilities that either produce, use, store, or transport refrigerants, the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI) in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released new guidelines for handling refrigerants to minimize their potential environmental impact.
"Our industry has a proud history of environmental stewardship and voluntarily implementing responsible-use programs," said William G. Sutton, ARI's president. "The new guidelines recommend specific steps to help our industry further reduce emissions and further improve our already good record of handling refrigerants."
