Ozone-depleting substances

26

In line with the previous year, the quantities of ozone-depleting substances fell again during 2015 (down

7.8% compared with 2014). This reduction was mainly concentrated in the Telecom Sector and was partly

due to the exclusion of the Wuhan site, as well as to certain disposals of fluorinated gases.

Most of the ozone-depleting substances reported relate to HCFCs, especially Freon (a.k.a. R-22), which is less problematic than other

families of refrigerant gases already banned by law, such as CFC and Halon.
