12 Environmentally-Friendly Disposal

Manufacturers of B2B equipment are obliged to take back and
dispose of old equipment that was manufactured after 13 August
2005. As a principle, this old equipment may not be delivered to
communal collecting points. It may only be organised, used and
disposed of by the manufacturer. Valentin products accordingly
labelled can therefore be returned to Carl Valentin GmbH.

This way, you can be sure your old equipment will be disposed of
correctly.

Carl Valentin GmbH thereby fulfils all obligations regarding timely
disposal of old equipment and facilitates the smooth reselling of these
products. Please understand that we can only take back equipment
that is sent free of carriage charges.

The electronics board of the printing system is equipped with a
battery. This must only be discarded in battery collection containers or
by public waste management authorities.

Further information on the WEEE directive is available on our website
www.carl-valentin.de.
