Disposal / Recycling of materials
If the wheelchair has been made available to you free of charge,
then it does not belong to you. If it is no longer required, then
follow the instructions to return it as given by the organisation
that made the wheelchair available to you.
In the following section, there is a description of the materials used
on the wheelchair, in view of the disposal or recycling of the
wheelchair and its packaging.
Particular regulations with regard to disposal or recycling may be in
force locally and these must be taken into account when performing
disposal. (This can include the cleaning or decontamination of the
wheelchair prior to disposal).
Aluminium: Castor forks, wheels, sideguards for the chassis,
armrest frame, footrest, push handles
Steel: Fixing points, quick-release axle
Plastic: Handles, tube stoppers, castors, footplates, armpads and
12” wheel/tyre
Packaging: Plastic bags made of soft polyethylene, cardboard
Upholstery: Polyester fabric with PVC coating and highly-
flammable foam.
Disposal or recycling should be carried out by a disposal company
or at a public disposal point. You can also return your wheelchair to
your dealer for disposal.
