RRA encourages contractors to recover, recycle and reuse refrigent of acceptable quality, and to return all unwanted and contaminated refrigerant for safe disposal. It:
- works with government departments 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 a fair and reasonable cost
- provides rebates for collected ozone depleting and synthetic greenhouse gas refrigerants
- operates a national collection service, which transports recovered refrigerants to a central, secure storage facility where they are processed and/or destroyed using cost-effective, environmentally safe technology
- conducts educational and promotional campaigns for industry when required
