What should be done with Halon removed during service or maintenance procedures?

When Halon is removed during service or maintenance procedures, it should be collected for recycling. This is essential because Halon is a type of halocarbon that, when released into the atmosphere, can significantly contribute to ozone depletion. Recycling Halon helps to minimize environmental impact while also ensuring that it can be reused in systems that require it, which is important for fire suppression applications.

The recycling process facilitates the recovery and purification of Halon, allowing it to be safely stored and used again, thus preserving the resource and complying with environmental regulations. Proper management of Halon reduces the demand for new production and helps to prevent the potential harmful effects associated with its release into the environment.
