10 | DISPOSAL, CE MARKING
10.1 BATTERY DISPOSAL
Batteries and rechargeable batteries are marked with the
symbol of a crossed-out waste bin. This symbol indicates that
empty batteries or rechargeable batteries that can no longer
be recharged must not be disposed of in household waste. Old
batteries may contain harmful substances that can cause
damage to health and the environment. As the end user, you
are legally obliged to return used batteries (Battery Act §11 Act
on the Reorganisation of Waste Product Responsibility for
Batteries and Accumulators). You can return batteries free of
charge after use at the point of sale or in your immediate
vicinity (e.g. at municipal collection points or in shops). You
can also return batteries to the seller by post.
10.2 WEEE NOTICE
The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
Directive, which came into force as European law on 13
February 2003, led to a comprehensive change in the disposal
of discarded electrical equipment. The primary purpose of this
directive is to prevent e-waste while promoting reuse,
recycling and other forms of reprocessing in order to reduce
waste. The WEEE logo (waste bin) shown on the product and
on the packaging indicates that the product must not be
disposed of with normal household waste. You are
responsible for delivering all discarded electrical and
electronic equipment to appropriate collection points.
Separate collection and sensible recycling of e-waste helps to
use natural resources more sparingly. Furthermore, the
recycling of e-waste contributes to preserving our
environment and also people’s health. Further information on
the disposal of electrical and electronic equipment, recycling
and collection points can be obtained from local authorities,
waste disposal companies, specialist retailers and the
manufacturer of the device.
