Closing the loop: Creating a circular economy for HVAC-R industry

We all know the benefits of a circular economy when it comes to eliminating waste from our supply chain. Now, it’s easier than ever to make a positive choice and create more sustainable air conditioning systems, with L∞P by Daikin.

Through the L∞P by Daikin programme, we recover used refrigerants from existing systems via our installer network. Instead of letting used refrigerant become waste, we upcycle and reclaim it to virgin quality, before allocating it to new VRV systems to be sold across Europe.

When you choose certified L∞P by Daikin VRV units, you benefit from the same high performance and quality from you expect from Daikin.

You’ll be making a clear choice to support the supply of refrigerant from a more sustainable source, avoid the carbon emissions generated from producing virgin gas, and ease pressure on the F-gas quota.

Because we can all become part of our climate solution.

Design your system with confidence.

Why L∞P by Daikin?

A more responsible, energy efficient and sustainable solution for your HVAC systems
Eliminate waste from your supply chain and minimise resource depletion
Guaranteed by an independent audit process, our reclaimed refrigerant meets the exact same quality standards as virgin refrigerant: AHRI700 certified to virgin R410A quality
Guaranteed zero F-gas quota impact
For every certified L∞P by Daikin unit on the market, 100% equivalent reclaimed refrigerant is used in our Daikin factories

At Daikin, we’re already achieving a circular economy of refrigerants. In fact, we first introduced the use of reclaimed refrigerant to VRV IV+ systems and VRV IV S-series units during production in 2019.

Now, we’ve taken the step of expanding our circular economy even further, so you can Design with Condence, with L∞P by Daikin. The quantity of reclaimed refrigerant we allocate to these units avoids more than 250,000 tons of CO2eq being generated each year from virgin refrigerant production.

The program leverages the entire Daikin infrastructure, and that of our business partners across Europe, in a perfect example of what we can achieve with a circular economy.

L∞p by Daikin is our revolutionary refrigerant program and essential part of our commitment to create a sustainable future.

Recover, Reclaim, Reuse are the magic words and the core principle of our new all-in-one service.

Find out how reclaimed refrigerant helps avoid more than 250.000 kg of virgin gas being produced – each year!

The time to act is now. Join us in creating a sustainable future for HVAC-R.

How L∞p by Daikin works

Recover

We recover your old refrigerant for
you from any unit and any brand.

Reclaim

The refrigerant is reclaimed in Europe, meaning regenerated in a high-quality way, in line with F-gas regulation definition.

Reuse

The reclaimed refrigerant is used for the production of new L∞p by Daikin units. The reclaimed refrigerant’s quality is certified by an independent laboratory, so it meets AHRI 700 certified standards.

How your refrigerant follows the loop

The principle of certified reclaimed refrigerant allocation

1. Refrigerant is recovered from our building by installer network

2. Refrigerant is reclaimed = regeneration in a high quality way that equals virgin quality

3. A mix of reclaimed and virgin refrigerant is used at our factory to charge products

4. The reclaimed refrigerant is administratively allocated to VRV units produced and sold in Europe¹ and Chillers²

5. The reclaimed refrigerant is reused in your building – closing the loop

6. Recycled refrigerant for field charge and servicing

¹ EU member states, UK, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, Albania, North Macedonia, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland

²EWAD-TZ, EWAD-T, EWYD-BZ, EWYD-4Z-B, EWWD-VZ, EWWD-DZ, DWSC/DWDC chiller ranges

Reducing environmental impact with no compromise on quality

Our circular ecosystem into a greener future is growing

Products reusing reclaimed refrigerants

Since 2019 Daikin is offering products under the L∞P by Daikin circular economy initiative – a line of products using reclaimed refrigerant. By choosing such a product you actively support the reuse of refrigerant.

Recover-Reclaim-Reuse Refrigerant service

Our latest initiative, the refrigerant service, saves resources and costs. Our aim is to collect larger amounts of refrigerant and certify the projects where old refrigerant is recovered and reused for new projects. This service is available for key accounts and investors.

R-cycle recovery unit

The mobile refrigerant recovery unit removes impurities such as oil, acid and moisture from gas. It can be used independently of other Daikin circular econemy initiatives.

Partner of retradables

As a consortium partner, Daikin supports Retradeables, a digital tranding marketplace that enables trading reclaimed refrigerants between service companies and refrigerant distributors.
