AprilAire Leads Industry Fully Transitioning to Reclaimed Refrigerant in Residential Indoor Air Quality Solutions

December 20, 2022

AprilAire, the leading provider of professional grade Healthy Air solutions for homes, today announced it has completed its transition ahead of schedule to the exclusive use of certified reclaimed refrigerant in its range of healthy indoor air quality solutions.

The seamless conversion, well in advance of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Regulation Order transition date, was made possible by its partnership with Hudson Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HDSN), a leading provider of innovative and sustainable refrigerant products and services to the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration industry – and one of the nation’s largest refrigerant reclaimers.

“We chose to partner with Hudson Technologies due to their proven commitment to sustainability and technical leadership in recovering, reclaiming, and reusing refrigerants to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions. This is another important milestone as we implement innovative solutions to make our products more environmentally friendly,” commented Jimmy Pendley, President of AprilAire.

Brian F. Coleman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Technologies, added, “We’re pleased to work with AprilAire in their efforts as an early adopter to meet the CARB Regulation Order for Certified Reclaimed Refrigerant. We believe our partnership with AprilAire is a great example of how our mutual focus on sustainability can make a difference and set the pace for an entire industry.”
