7.2 RE-CYCLING
7.2.1 Local Authority Re-cycling
The disposal of Safegate products is to be made at an applicable collection point for
the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. The correct disposal of equipment
prevents any potential negative consequences for the environment and human health,
which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling. The recycling of
materials helps to conserve natural resources. For more detailed information about
recycling of products, contact your local authority city office.
7.2.2 Safegate Re-cycling
Safegate is fully committed to environmentally-conscious manufacturing with strict
monitoring of our own processes as well as supplier components and sub-contractor
operations. Safegate offers a re-cycling program for our products to all customers
worldwide, whether or not the products were sold within the EU.
Safegate products and/or specific electrical and electronic component parts which are
fully removed/separated from any customer equipment and returned will be accepted
for our recycling program.
All items returned must be clearly labelled as follows:

For ROHS/WEEE Re-cycling

Sender contact information (Name, Business Address, Phone number).

Main Unit Serial Number.
Safegate will continue to monitor and update according for any future requirements for
EU directives as and when EU member states implement new regulations and or
amendments. It is our aim to maintain our compliance plan and assist our customers.

7.2.3 Packaging
All packaging shipped with products should be properly marked for recycling per
GB 18455-2001 Packaging recycling Mark. Responsible and sustainable recovery of
packaging products is therefore of paramount importance, and with the right actions, it
contributes to a sustainable environment based on a best effort basis.
All packaging and boxes are to be re-cycled according to local authority regulations.

Cardboard - Used cardboard packaging is to be flattened for delivery to a local
authority re-cycling site and onward delivery to, for example, a paper mill for re-
cycling/reuse as a new product.

Plywood box - Used plywood boxes are to be flattened for delivery to a local
authority re-cycling site and onward delivery to, for example, a materials recovery
facility (MRF) where the box is to be grinded down, while the steel is separated
from the Plywood, using an electromagnet. The steel is then sent to a steel mill
where it is melted down and reused as a new product. Plywood spillage is burned
in a controlled environment, for example a combined heat power plant where the
extracted energy is reused in the municipality's energy system with high
efficiency, such as in the electricity network.
Note : If plywood is burned in an uncontrolled environment, the amount of CO2
released is the same as the amount of CO2 from the atmosphere through
photosynthesis. Wood is a source of bio-energy, in contrast to fossil fuel, and
does not contribute to global warming. The concentration of the restricted
substances in the waste gas from Plywood is also below the limit.
