In 2016, A-Gas acquired the USA’s leading on-site refrigerant recovery service Rapid Recovery. The business came with 15 years of refrigerant recovery expertise and helped to extend the A-Gas supply and reclamation offering. From here A-Gas Rapid Recovery was rolled out globally and continues to be a key enabler to achieving effective Lifecycle Refrigerant Management. In 2021, we developed further our existing in-house destruction capability through the acquisition of PyroPlas plasma arc destruction technology. Where the future re-use of a refrigerant is no longer possible due to technology change or to deliver on a company’s individual sustainability policy request, A-Gas PyroPlas technology provides the industry’s highest proven destruction efficiency. Over the years we have captured tens of thousands of tons of used gas that may otherwise have been released into the atmosphere – and we are not stopping there. A-Gas has pledged to become a net- zero company by 2035 and we will do all in our power to achieve this. The low carbon economy can only get bigger as more and more people embrace the benefits of the circular economy and sustainability. With this in mind, I see no reason why the company’s impressive growth should not continue. Our tagline Together We Can encompasses 30 years of innovation, teamwork and growth; net-zero will be achieved by working together with our partners – our colleagues, customers, suppliers and industry peers. Great change is once again happening in the industry but you can be sure that A-Gas will not only move and grow with the times but also help shape the future of our industry and our planet. www.agas.com A-Gas Rapid Recovery – the leading on-site refrigerant recovery service Across the world, A-Gas employees are making their mark A-Gas has always been dedicated to providing a full portfolio of solutions
