INTRODUCTION










The U.S. EPA’s Responsible Appliance Disposal (RAD) program for utilities, manufacturers, retailers, state and local governments, waste removal service providers, and other qualifying organizations is a voluntary program that helps protect the ozone layer and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. Through the Program, partners dispose of old refrigerators, freezers, dehumidifiers, and window air-conditioning units using the best environmental practices available and going beyond what is required by federal law.








This reporting form will allow EPA to track and quantify the environmental benefits achieved by your program, and ultimately, those achieved by the RAD program as a whole.








CONFIDENTIALITY










All information submitted to EPA will be treated in accordance with the EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2, including the provisions on protecting confidential business information (CBI). For information to be treated as CBI, it must be designated as CBI at the time of submittal. EPA will protect CBI to the maximum extent of the law.








INSTRUCTIONS










Please complete all worksheets that are applicable to your program. Within each worksheet, please provide information for all fields requested. The purpose of each worksheet and the type of information requested in each is outlined below. Please ensure that all of the following steps have been completed before submitting the reporting form.



Step 1: Contact and Program Information
Provide your contact and program information.




Step 2: Third-Party Information
Enter contact information for and details about all companies providing appliance collection and processing services under your program.



Step 3: Activity Data on Processed Units
Complete a Step 3 worksheet for each appliance type included in your program.
There are separate worksheets for Refrigerators, Stand-Alone Freezers, Air Conditioning Units, and Dehumidifiers. For each type of
appliance processed by your program, complete the worksheet to provide the number of units processed and the amounts of
materials/components recovered from those units.



Step 4: Units Handled Jointly by Your Organization and Another RAD Partner
Complete this worksheet if any appliances were jointly processed by your organization and another RAD partner. When reporting the
units by refrigerant type and blowing agent type, report only the units processed with refrigerant recovery and foam recovery, respectively.



Step 5: Summary of Input Data for Quality Assurance and Program Benefits
a) Review Step 5 Summary of Input Data for Quality Assurance worksheet to ensure that the information entered in the Step 3
worksheets is accurate. This worksheet is used for quality assurance purposes and does not require any data input.
b) Review Step 5 Summary of Program's Environmental Benefits and Step 5 Summary of Program's Gross Energy Impacts from
Removal of Old Units worksheets to learn about the environmental and/or energy impacts associated with your program.
c) Review Step 5 Key Messages and Figures to Promote Program's Benefits worksheet to access key messages and figures that can
help you promote the benefits achieved by your program.



Step 6: Partner Feedback
Provide qualitative information on your program and any input on the RAD program.



Step 7: Confirmation
Check and sign a statement confirming that all information provided in this form is accurate, to the best of your knowledge.














DEFINITIONS











Recover: To remove a material (in any condition) from an appliance and then store it externally without necessarily testing or processing it in any way.









Reclaim: To reprocess ODS and ODS substitutes using specialized machinery to all of the specifications in appendix A to 40 CFR part 82, subpart F (based on ARI Standard 700-1995, Specification for Fluorocarbons and Other Refrigerants), and to verify using the analytical methodology prescribed in section 5 of appendix A of 40 CFR part 82, subpart F.









Stockpiling with Intent to Reclaim: To store refrigerant or foam-blowing agent on-site at the recycling facility where the unit was processed with the intent of later reclaiming the substance(s).









Recycle: To extract material from an appliance and process it for reuse. Recycling durable components, such as metals, rubber, plastic, and glass, entails reprocessing them for future use in other manufactured products, and not reuse of the appliance itself. When recycling used oil, refrigerants must be recovered from the used oil to the fullest extent possible, and the used oil cannot be mixed with used oil from sources other than refrigeration units.









Destroy: To cause the expiration of a controlled substance. Destruction does not result in a commercially useful end product. For refrigerant or foam-blowing agent, destruction must be performed in accordance with the guidelines in 40 CFR §82.3. For PCBs, which are found in capacitors manufactured before 1980, destruction must be in accordance with 40 CFR §761.









Stockpiling with Intent to Destroy: To store refrigerant or foam-blowing agent on-site at the recycling facility where the unit was processed with the intent of later destroying the substance(s).









Dispose: Mercury waste, such as switches and relays, must be recovered from appliances prior to disposal or shredding, sent to a qualified recovery facility that has appropriate hazardous waste management permits, and managed in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local hazardous waste regulations (e.g., waste must be properly packaged prior to transport). The federal hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) can be found in 40 CFR §260 - 279. Used oil must be disposed in accordance with 40 CFR §279.81.









Energy Cost for Residential Consumers ($/kWh): The energy cost paid by consumers, which may include a customer charge, distribution charge, transmission charge, transition charge, generation service charge, or other charges based on the electricity pricing scheme in your region.

Sheet 10: Step 5-Env Benefits
















Instructions: No action is required. The tables below are for reference only and are self-populated based on the activity data reported in the Step 3 worksheet(s).


Emissions Avoided







The table below presents the cumulative avoided emissions of greenhouse gas and ozone depleting substances resulting from your program. It is calculated based on assumptions of destruction and reclamation efficiencies developed by the U.S. EPA.
Note: It is assumed that removing units from the electricity grid will only result in environmental benefits if your program offers an incentive to retire old, working appliances. In addition, the estimated ozone and greenhouse gas benefits associated with avoided releases of refrigerant and foam-blowing agent are subject to change as more information becomes available (e.g., regarding loss rates associated with various recovery technologies and practices, baseline emissions, global warming potentials [GWPs], etc.).

aGWP = global warming potential; the ratio of heat trapped by one unit mass of a gas to that of one unit mass of carbon dioxide. Calculations are based on the direct 100-year GWPs provided in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007.






bODP = ozone depleting potential; the ratio of calculated ozone column change for each mass unit of a gas emitted into the atmosphere relative to the calculated depletion for the reference gas CFC-11 (ODP = 1.0). For calculation purposes, ODPs defined in the Montreal Protocol are used.






cRefrigerant assumptions: destruction results in emissions of 0.01% (assuming destruction occurs using a TEAP-approved technology, with DRE of 99.99%); the reclamation process results in emissions of 1.5%.


dFoam-blowing agent assumptions: destruction results in emissions of 0.09% (assuming destruction occurs in a municipal solid waste incinerator or waste-to-energy facility with a DRE of 99.91%); the reclamation process results in emissions of 1.5%; baseline emissions are assumed to be 100% (i.e., no anaerobic degradation of CFC blowing agent in landfills is assumed).

*Note: It is assumed that removing units from the electricity grid will only result in environmental benefits if your program offers an incentive to retire old, working appliances.















Materials prevented from going to a landfill:





lbs. of ferrous metals (e.g., steel)




lbs. of non-ferrous metals (e.g., copper)




lbs. of plastic




lbs. of glass




Materials prevented from going to a landfill:




gallons of used oil




0 PCB-containing capacitors




0 mercury-containing capacitors















If released into the environment, used oil can leak into groundwater and major waterways and pollute drinking water sources. In addition to used oil, appliances may contain toxic chemicals and heavy metals—namely PCBs from capacitors and mercury from thermostatic switches. PCBs are regulated by EPA as toxic substances; they may cause cancer and liver damage and can have negative impacts on the neurological development of children, the human reproductive system, the immune system, and the endocrine system. Mercury is toxic and causes a variety of adverse health effects, including tremors, headaches, respiratory failure, reproductive and developmental abnormalities, and potentially, cancers.
