The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has launched a new code that sets Earth-friendly standards and practices for manufacturers, dealers, and sellers of refrigerators and air conditioners in the Philippines.
The new code of practice for the refrigeration and air conditioning sector is a revision of the original code crafted in 2002 incorporating new practices and technologies that leave less carbon footprint on the environment, the DENR said.
In a statement, Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) director Juan Miguel Cuna said the 2002 code was revised to guide the refrigeration and air conditioning industry on updated procedures and complement shifting technologies.
“It is time to upgrade procedures on refrigeration and air conditioning. With advancement in technology come the need to introduce new practices that would enable us not only to protect but also to prevent damage to the environment,” he said.
