Reclamation Technologies USA, LLC (RTI) is a full-service refrigerant recovery and reclamation company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company offers end-to-end refrigerant services including on-site gas recovery, EPA-certified reclamation, mixed-gas separation, a cylinder exchange program, and sales of both reclaimed and virgin refrigerants. RTI was acquired by a J.F. Lehman & Company investment fund, which has financed an aggressive acquisition strategy aimed at building a national reclamation footprint.
Recent acquisitions include RTR Suppliers (2022), NoVent Refrigerant Services (2023), and AllCool Refrigerant Reclaim (2024) — together expanding RTI's physical presence across the Midwest, Texas, Florida, and the Southeast. For HVAC contractors, this rollup means one paperwork relationship and one account can now cover jobs across most of the eastern half of the country, instead of juggling separate reclaimers per region. The company is led by sector CEO Jeff Laborsky and sector president Katelyn Imrie.
RTI's cylinder exchange program is the operational standout: contractors swap empty refrigerant cylinders for full ones on a recurring basis, ensuring HVAC technicians always have virgin or reclaimed refrigerant on trucks without the cylinder-deposit logistics of traditional wholesalers. The customized Refrigerant Recycling Program pairs the exchange with buyback pricing for recovered gas, turning refrigerant management into a closed loop: recovery on the job, exchange at the shop, reclamation at RTI, resale back into the HVAC market. With EPA HFC phase-downs accelerating and A2L refrigerants entering circulation, RTI is positioned as a compliance-grade partner for contractors handling both legacy R-22/R-410A fleets and next-generation equipment.
