15 years: this is the average lifetime of a refrigerator or freezer. Once disused, this product must be recycled properly. For the treatment and disposal of refrigerators, therefore, specific technologies must be used, capable of treating not only their solid components, but also any oils and gases they contain that are harmful to the atmosphere, such as CFCs or HCFCs, or that have a high level of flammability, such as Pentane.
Forrec has distinguished itself, in recent years, for the design and production of complete lines for the treatment of refrigerators, with tailor-made technologies developed and realized for European and non-European markets. Let’s see the main steps for the treatment of refrigerators according to Forrec technologies.
Forrec develops and builds complete plants for the treatment of refrigerators that stand out for their quality and performance, in particular:

- higher capacities: 120 units/hour processed;
- experience: the know-how that Forrec offers to its customers;
- lower management costs: thanks to careful design and optimization of maintenance and spare parts;
- flexibility: each plant is designed and built starting from the customer’s needs, evaluating critical issues and risks and obtaining the maximum return on investment;
- cleanliness of the materials: in line with and superior to the competitors, the level of cleanliness of the output materials is guaranteed for re-introduction into the market as secondary raw material.
Forrec, in recent years, has been able to design and build complete plants for the treatment of refrigerators, collecting the full satisfaction of the customers and their specific needs, different from Country to Country. Some examples are the two different solutions that Forrec has created for France or other successful cases, such as the plant installed in Ukraine, or in Belarus, but also in Italy (where some installations are already operational and the last one in production almost ready for delivery to Turin Area).
