| The Alliance cautions industry and the public to be certain that their HCFC purchases are legal, and to refuse to buy illegally imported refrigerants. The warning comes as reports are beginning to surface that illegal HCFC imports may be on the rise, in light of apparent demand for the product to service air conditioning equipment. |
| The Alliance called upon the US government to oppose a recent decision by the Environment Committee of the European Parliament to ban the import of U.S. manufactured household refrigerators and other plug-in commercial refrigeration equipment that use hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant. HFCs are energy efficient, safe, non-ozone-depleting, and cost-effective refrigerants used in refrigeration and air conditioning. |
| The Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy today cautioned industry and the public to be certain that their chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant purchases are legal, and to refuse to buy illegally imported refrigerants. |
| The Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy (Alliance), an industry coalition representing the major business sectors that phased out of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), today urged the Bush Administration and all parties to the Montreal Protocol to continue the course toward compliance with the Protocol and stratospheric ozone layer protection. |
| The Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy has announced the release of 14 documents demonstrating that HFCs are a viable and proven solution to ozone depletion and global climate change. |
| The Alliance for Responsible Atmospheric Policy today reminded industry and the public to be certain that their chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerant purchases are legal, and to refuse to buy illegally imported refrigerant. |
| Nearly eight years ago, the Alliance announced that it would assist a government initiative to curtail illegal imports of CFCs. Now, approximately 100 individuals have been convicted of smuggling or diverting CFCs into the United States, or for evading federal excise taxes on the CFCs, bringing international attention to the issue of illegal CFC imports. |
| Arthur D. Little, Inc., of Cambridge, Mass. today released a report entitled "Global Comparative Analysis of HFC and Alternative Technologies for Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Foam, Solvent, Aerosol Propellant, and Fire Protection Applications". |
