Handling and destruction of foams containing ODSs at the end of their life

The Fifteenth Meeting of the Parties decided to request the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel, in its April 2005 report:

      (a)  to provide updated useful information on the handling and destruction of ozone depleting substance-containing thermal insulation foams including thermal foams situated in buildings, with particular attention to the economic and technological implications;

      (b)  to clarify the distinction between the destruction efficiency achievable for ozone depleting substances recovered from foams prior to destruction (reconcentrated) and the destruction efficiency achievable for the foams themselves containing ozone-depleting substances (dilute source).

(UNEP/OzL.Pro.15/9, Decision XV/10).
