About DASCEM Halon & CFC Services

Management of Australia's National Halon Bank

DASCEM manages the Australian National Halon Bank on behalf of the Commonwealth Government - Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.

The facility in Melbourne safely stores, reclaims and destroys halons and CFCs. In accordance with the Montreal Protocol, Australia's stock of halon required to meet essential use needs is stored, secured and managed at the Australian National Halon Bank.

In February 2000 the Minister for the Environment, Senator Robert Hill, announced that the Australian National Halon Bank would be developed into a regional facility to assist other nations with their halon and other Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) phase-out programs.

DASCEM provides a range of ODS management services to international customers including the United States of America and several Asia Pacific nations.
