Refrigerant recovery has always been one of those necessary tasks that slows down the job — contractors need to handle it properly, but it takes time and creates logistical headaches. ACCA Strategic Partner Hudson Technologies flips that equation by paying contractors top dollar for recovered refrigerant and managing the pickup and cylinder swaps right on site. Their reclamation services help contractors stay compliant with EPA regulations while turning refrigerant recovery into an actual revenue opportunity. We talked with Hudson’s team about how they’re making responsible refrigerant management work better for contractors.

In the year ahead, Hudson aims to increase the volume of refrigerant being recovered, reclaimed, and reused — keeping it out of the atmosphere and within the circular economy. Through our partnership with ACCA, we educate, support, and reward contractors who prioritize sustainability in their daily work.
Together, we can make a measurable impact on the industry’s environmental footprint while creating real value for contractors who do the right thing. Hudson remains committed to building a cleaner, more efficient, and responsible future for HVACR.
