03 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
8
We respect the environment
The majority of our products consist of steel, and can be
completely recycled.
Environmental impact
All products have an impact on the environment throughout
their entire life cycle.
The consumption of energy when in use is one of the most
important factors that influences the environment.
Through correct care, maintenance and use the consumption of
energy can be reduced, thereby reducing the environmental
impact.
Waste
Waste material in conjunction with repairs, maintenance,
cleaning, or scrapping, must be collected and disposed of in an
environment-friendly way and in accordance with the directives
of respective countries.
Such work should only be carried out in areas intended for this
purpose.
Recyclable material should be taken care of by specialised
authorities.
Environmentally hazardous waste, such as oil filters, hydraulic
oil, batteries and electronic equipment, can, if handled
incorrectly, have a negative effect on the environment and
human health.
