Disposal
Packaging that is no longer
required must be disposed of
at the local waste disposal
facility. The packaging is
made of environmentally
friendly materials that can be
used as secondary raw materials.
The equipment, including accessories
and batteries, does not belong in your
regular household waste. The EU legis-
lation requires its Member States to col-
lect electrical and electronic equipment
and dispose of it separately from other
unsorted municipal waste with the aim
of recycling it.
In Germany and many other countries,
Sartorius AG takes care of the return
and legally compliant disposal of its
electrical and electronic equipment on
its own. These products may not be
placed with household waste or brought
to collection centers run by local public
disposal operations – not even by small
commercial operators.
In countries that are not members of
the European Economic Area (EEA) or
where no Sartorius affiliates, sub-
sidiaries, dealers or distributors are
located, please contact your local
authorities or a commercial disposal
operator.
Prior to disposal and/or scrapping of the
equipment, any batteries should be
removed and disposed of in local collec-
tion boxes.
Sartorius AG and Sartorius, its affili-
ates, subsidiaries, dealers and distrib-
utors will not take back equipment
contaminated with hazardous mate-
rials (ABC contamination) – either
for repair or disposal. Please refer to
the accompanying leaflet/manual or
visit our website
(www.sartorius.com) for comprehen-
sive information that includes our
service addresses to contact if you
plan to send your equipment in for
repairs or proper disposal.
