Summary

Description of the environmental aspects of several methods to scrap domestic refrigerators. It is shown that recycling of refrigerators should be based on an integral approach, aiming at a maximum extraction of CFCs, an optimal recycling of metals and a low energy input. By this approach the present emission of greenhouse gases can be reduced by approximately 0.4%. The required technology is directly available and the costs of this special way of reducing emissions are much lower than with the usual measures to cut CO2 pollution.
