Seeing Halon recycling as part of a larger picture

 

It is a well-known fact that minimising Halon emissions into the atmosphere and increasing the recycling of such substances contributes to the natural restoring process of the ozone layer.  Research has indicated that the majority of halon closed recovery systems in use today, as well as all recycling units currently sold in this sector, meet or exceed industry standards that require minimum recovery efficiencies of 98%. 

This is why HBS feels it is important to reaffirm the fact that by helping us protect the ozone layer and the  environment with all of its components, we are in fact protecting the economy.

 

That time of the year....

Yes, it is that time of the year again, the time when NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center releases the Antarctic Hemisphere yearly map of total ozone. Satellite instruments monitor the ozone layer, and they use their data to create the images that depict the amount of ozone.
It is a helpful reminder that constant efforts to phaseout and recyle Halons will result in substantial reductions of ozone depleting substance emissions in the atmosphere.

 

 

Of course we also know Thanksgiving is fast approaching and at this time of celebration our thoughts turn gratefully to you with warm appreciation. Happy Thanksgiving!
