Résumé

Discarded refrigerators still frequently contain greenhouse gases such as CFCs. The recovery and destruction of those gases must be the utmost priority when disposing of cooling appliances. In Germany and some other European Member States however, the policies currently in place do not ensure an environmentally sound treatment. As has been done by France and Netherlands, the European quality standards EN 50574 and CLC/TS 50574-2, or their succeeding standards EN 50625-2-3 and CLC/TS 50625-3-4, must be implemented in national law in order to ensure a state of the art recovery and destruction of greenhouse gases contained in cooling appliances.
