Recycling and disposal of equipment in the
OpenScape Desk Phone family
Return of OpenScape Desk Phone waste equipment.
a) Legal and other foundations
The take-back of equipment and spare parts is based on
• EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE),
• the German "Act Governing the Sale, Return and Environmentally Sound Dis-
posal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment" (ElektroG),
b) Separate collection according to ElektroG
Users of electrical and electronic equipment are obliged to collect waste equip-
ment separately and supply for proper disposal.
This waste equipment must not be disposed of together with unsorted municipal
waste (normal household waste). Separate collection is a condition for reuse, re-
cycling and efficient recovery of waste equipment and the basis for the recovery
of materials.
c) Take-back
In addition to the legal requirements governing take-back of electrical and elec-
tronic equipment, Unify Software and Solutions GmbH & Co. KG takes back the
OpenScape Desk Phone CP200T telephone introduced on the market in Ger-
many and manufactured after March 2016. Insofar as no direct collection of this
waste equipment has been agreed, the OpenScape Desk Phone end-of-life tele-
phones can be returned free of charge to the following address:

Maybachstr. 18
90441 Nuremberg, Germany
d) Reuse, recycling and recovery
Attention is paid to ease of disassembly/recycling of the OpenScape Desk
Phone waste equipment as early as the product development stage.
Reuse:
The waste equipment is repaired and refurbished and introduced into the spare
parts cycle where it is then reused.
Recycling and recovery of OpenScape Desk Phone equipment that is no longer
usable:
the equipment is roughly disassembled and introduced into various recovery op-
erations prior to further treatment. The various metals are separated using spe-
cial shredder equipment for electronic scrap. Copper and precious metals are
processed by refining. Aluminum and iron are separated and supplied for melt-
ing.
