Recycling
The s-max and its battery pack are products of long durability. However, if
your s-max is old and has reached the end of its lifespan you may return its
components to AAT Alber Antriebstechnik GmbH or your authorized dealer to
be recycled.
A new law concerning electric and electronic devices (ElektroG) has been
passed on March 24, 2005 regulating the taking back and recycling of old
electric and electronic devices.
According to the Federal Office of Environment Protection (German BDU)
the s-max is considered a means of transportation and does not fall under
this law concerning the recycling of old electric or electronic devices (Elek-
troG, §2 paragraph 1 sentence 1 (cross reference, Guideline of the European
Parliament 2002/96/EG).
