تجاوز تكاليف المخزون والتخلص من المبردات غير الممتثلة (Non-Compliant Refrigerant Inventory Write-offs)
Definition
Without real-time visibility into refrigerant GWP compliance timelines and inventory aging, manufacturers accumulate slow-moving or soon-to-be-banned refrigerants. R-410A, widely used before 2025, has GWP of 2088 (vs. R-32 at 675). Stock held beyond regulatory grace periods incurs environmental disposal fees (AED 50–100/kg) and accelerated depreciation.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: Estimated: AED 200,000–500,000 annually (inventory write-offs, environmental disposal, carrying cost on stranded capital). Typical scenario: 5,000–10,000 kg of R-410A stock at risk; disposal cost AED 50–100/kg = AED 250,000–1,000,000 if forced liquidation occurs.
- Frequency: Annual or per regulatory transition event (2025–2027 EU/US phase-outs; UAE follow-up expected 2026–2027).
- Root Cause: Manual, decentralized inventory tracking; no GWP compliance alerts; poor demand forecasting for low-GWP alternatives.
