Save The Earth: Exchange For The Future Generation

Did you know? Environmental sustainability is no longer an option, it’s a necessity. The choices we make now will shape the planet that future generations inherit.
Acson Malaysia, a proud home-grown best air conditioning company in Malaysia, is committed to making a difference. Aligned with Daikin’s Environmental Vision 2050, Acson is dedicated to contributing to initiatives that safeguard the environment and help achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Central to this mission is the concept of refrigerant recovery, which is a practice that not only preserves the ozone layer but also plays a vital role in combating climate change.
What is Refrigerant Recovery?
Refrigerant recovery involves the careful extraction of refrigerants from air conditioning systems during maintenance, repair, or servicing. These refrigerants are then stored in refillable cylinders for recycling or safe disposal. The process is vital in preventing the release of harmful chemicals into the atmosphere, where they could contribute to global warming and ozone layer depletion.
Why is Refrigerant Recovery Important?
Refrigerant recovery helps reduce these impacts by ensuring that these chemicals are not released into the atmosphere.
Chemical | Impact on Environment |
---|---|
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) | Contributes to global warming |
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) | Causes ozone layer depletion |
Acson Malaysia’s Commitment to Environmental Sustainability

Acson Malaysia is deeply committed to environmental sustainability, we are taking this initiative together with Dama Group for the “Save the Earth: Exchange for the Future Generation” campaign. This initiative is focused on raising awareness about the importance of refrigerant recovery and ensuring that all installers are trained in proper refrigerant handling procedures.
Key Stages of the Refrigerant Recovery Process
The refrigerant recovery process is meticulous, involving several key steps as shown below. This process ensures compliance with environmental regulations and safety standards while producing high-quality, reusable refrigerant. It also aligns with broader environmental sustainability practices, contributing to a safer and more sustainable future.
Stages | ![]() 1. Recovery |
![]() 2. Transfer |
![]() 3. Refrigerant Processing |
![]() 4. E-Waste Management |
---|---|---|---|---|
Action | During repair, servicing, or maintenance, technicians use specialized recovery equipment. | Refrigerant is transferred to secure, refillable refrigerant cylinders. | Refrigerant is processed at a licensed facility. | Old air conditioning units are transported to a licensed recycling facility. |
Goal | Capture refrigerant without releasing it into the atmosphere. | Safe storage until recycling, reclamation, or disposal. | Remove impurities, restoring the refrigerant to a purity level >99.5% (AHRI-700 standard). | Sustainable management of electronic waste (e-waste). |
Environmental and Economic Benefits
These key benefits to appreciating the value of refrigerant recovery in advancing both environmental protection and economic sustainability.
![]() Environmental Protection |
![]() Sustainability |
---|---|
Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions Prevents the release of high-GWP refrigerants like HFCs and CFCs into the atmosphere, significantly lowering the contribution to global warming. |
Extends the Lifecycle of Refrigerants Recovered refrigerants are purified and reclaimed, allowing for reuse in systems, thus reducing the need for new refrigerants and promoting resource efficiency |
Prevents Ozone Layer Depletion Stops ozone-depleting substances from reaching the stratosphere, thereby protecting the ozone layer and reducing harmful UV radiation exposure. |
Minimizes Need for New Production By recycling existing refrigerants, the demand for new production is lowered, reducing energy consumption, emissions, and resource extraction. |
