DISPOSAL OF THE UNIT
In order to reduce the environmental load over the pro-
duct’s entire lifecycle, PLANMECA’s products are desig-
ned to be as safe as possible to manufacture, use and dispo-
se of.
Parts which can be recycled should always be taken to the
appropriate processing centres, after hazardous waste has
been removed. Disposal of obsolete units is the responsibi-
lity of the waste possessor.
All parts and components containing hazardous materials
must be disposed of in accordance with waste legislation
and instructions issued by the environmental authorities.
The risks involved and the necessary precautions must be
taken into account when handling waste products.
