10 Recycling and disposal
The product development of all Vaillant products takes
into account later recycling and/or the secure scrapping
of each component used. Vaillant factory standards
stipulate strict requirements in this regard. The selec-
tion process for choosing the raw materials takes into
account their recycling properties , the dismantlability
and the separation facility of the component groups. We
also take into account the environmental and health
dangers associated with the recycling and disposal of
non-reusable remnants.
10.1 Unit
The Vaillant ecoTEC consists to a large extent (up to
92 %) of metallic components designed for recycling by
melting down in the steelworks. This gives these parts
almost indefinite reusability. All plastic materials are
marked properly which makes the separation and sort-
ing more easy when the component group needs to be
recycled.
10.2 Packaging
Vaillant strives to keep the scope of the transport pack-
aging for its units to an absolute minimum. When select-
ing the packaging material its subsequent reusability is
taken into account. High quality cardboard has been, for
many years, a valuable raw material for the paper and
cardboard industry. The EPS components (Styropor®)
are used for protecting the unit during transport. EPS is
100 % recyclable and CFC-free. The foil packaging and
securing straps are made from recyclable plastic.
