"Throughout the last century, white goods had a positive economic disposal value," the report, authored by Dennis Siders, notes. However, 2000's slumping scrap prices, combined with increased regulations covering refrigerants Chemical refrigerants are assigned an R number(sometimes the label replaces it with the word Freon) which is determined systematically according to molecular structure. The following is a list of refrigerants with their R numbers, IUPAC chemical name, molecular formula, and CAS number. , caused this segment to disappear. "The transition from a [scrap] item that had value to a waste item that is now a liability is the key to the problem," the report states. The study also found that stronger scrap pricing spurred by a healthy regional steel industry would be a key market-based factor in keeping white goods in the recycling loop. Additionally, more information and assistance so recyclers will not fear mishandling refrigerants may also be needed to maintain a sustainable free market for the scrap appliances. |
