Q: Is it permissible to transfer ownership of Halon 1301 to the United States?
A: Yes, in accordance with the spirit of the Montreal Protocol. Article 11(1)(d) of (EC) No. 2037/2000 permits exports of products and equipment containing Halon, provided they are exported to any country outside the European Community for the specific “critical uses” listed in Annex VII. Since RemTec is the largest supplier to “critical users” in the world, we may be able to qualify your unwanted Halon for export. When compared to the cost of destruction, the recycling of Halons for critical use is not only cost effective, but may prevent the further production of Halons in the future. It's environmentally the right thing to do.
Q: Will I need special permits from my government?
A: Yes, each EU country may be different. Confirm with your environmental ministry for the required forms and permit applications.
All United States required permits would be completed by RemTec International.
Q: What if my Halon is in system bottles (non/DOT)?
A: RemTec International has the ability to accept non/DOT tanks in accordance with all United States regulations.
Q: I would like to remove halon from my systems. What should I do next?
A: Call our professionals. RemTec makes it easy for you to sell us your unwanted halon. We accept Halon 1211 and 1301 along with many CFC's, HCFC's, and HRC's into our Halocarbon Bank Management Program.
Q: What is a Halocarbon Bank Management Program?
A: RemTec established a comprehensive Halocarbon Bank Management Program in response to our customer's environmental and fire protection needs. We purchase, reclaim, and sell recycled halocarbons, meeting or exceeding all industry standards. We only sell to “critical users” and strictly follow all regulations and laws regarding the safe handling and transportation of halogenated agents.
Q: What if I need to dispose of my halon?
A: RemTec can also help you dispose of your halon. Occasionally, owners of ozone depleting chemicals may select destruction as a preferable option, especially if their corporate policies require permanent disposal of all ODS's (Ozone Depleting Substances), Class 1 CFC's and halons. Our sister company RemTec International, Pty. Ltd. Stands ready to accept these unwanted agents for destruction. This program is in Tottenham, Australia and is strictly monitored by the Australian Commonwealth Government.
