The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and Dawlance, a well-known producer of home appliances in Pakistan, have teamed up to promote sustainability through the recycling of R-32 refrigerant gas. Dawlance uses R-32, an eco-friendly refrigerant, to reduce emissions and safeguard the ozone layer, which is an essential barrier against damaging solar radiation.
UNIDO recently presented specialized machinery to Dawlance for recycling R-32 refrigerant at a ceremony held in Islamabad. Dawlance’s Chief Marketing Officer, Syed Hasan Jameel, emphasized the company’s dedication to ethical environmental practices during the event, saying, “As a socially responsible enterprise, we understand the critical importance of using planet-friendly refrigerants and recycling gases safely to preserve the ozone layer.”
With the tagline of “Progress today, Preserve tomorrow,” Dawlance’s environmental project displays its commitment to long-term sustainability and a healthy future for humanity. UNIDO promised to train 1000 technicians and installers in the proper use of R-32 refrigerant and has given Dawlance 100 gas-recovery systems to be installed all over Pakistan.
The R-32 refrigerant used in Dawlance’s venture is recycled and reused because of its cutting-edge technologies and low influence on the environment. The Ministry of Climate Change awarded Dawlance with a “Ozone & Environmental-Friendly Technology Award” in recognition of this switch to R-32 refrigerant. This outstanding deed by Dawlance provides as motivation for other industries to give environmental security and ozone layer protection first priority.
Dawlance wants to cut carbon dioxide discharges and greenhouse gas emissions by about 5000 kg, or 275 metric tons. To reduce the creation of hazardous gases, this endeavor uses R-32 refrigerants that have been recovered, processed, and reused. Dawlance’s project is in line with the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aiming for a 15% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 under the “2°C scenario” and a 50% reduction under the “1.5°C scenario” (both starting from the base year of 2018). This cut specifically targets emissions brought on by product use.
Dawlance’s innovative two-pronged approach aims to promote sustainability and educate the general people about the negative impacts of releasing refrigerants into the atmosphere. To achieve sustained socioeconomic growth, the organization is also adopting international best practices.
