Environmental notes and recycling
Lenze has been certified according to the global environmental management standard (DIN
EN) ISO 14001 for many years. As part of our environmental policy and the associated climate
responsibility, please observe the following information on hazardous substances and the
recycling of Lenze products and their packaging:
Lenze products are subject in part to EU Directive 2011/65/EU on the restriction of the use of
certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic devices (RoHS). This is documented
accordingly in the EU Declaration of Conformity and with the CE mark.
Lenze products are not subject to EU Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), but do sometimes contain batteries/rechargeable batteries in accordance
with EU Directive 2006/66/EC (Battery Directive). The separate from domestic waste disposal
route is shown by the corresponding labeling with the “crossed-out garbage can”.
Any batteries/rechargeable batteries included are designed for the service life of the product
and do not have to be replaced or otherwise removed by the end user.
Lenze products are usually sold with cardboard or plastic packaging. This packaging corresponds
to EU Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste (Packaging Directive). The required
waste disposal route is shown by material-specific labeling with the “recycling triangle”.
Example: "21 - Miscellaneous cardboard"
REACH
Lenze products are subject to the European Regulation EC No. 1907/2006 (REACH chemical
regulation). When used as intended, exposure of substances to humans, animals and the
environment is excluded.
Lenze products are industrial electrical and electronic products and are to be disposed of
professionally. Both the mechanical and electrical components, such as electric motors,
gearboxes, or inverters, contain valuable raw materials that can be recycled and reused.
Proper recycling and thus maintaining the highest possible reusable materials cycle is
therefore important and sensible from an economic and ecological point of view.
•
Always coordinate professional waste disposal with your local waste disposal company.
•
Separate mechanical and electrical components, packaging, hazardous waste (e.g. gearbox
oils), and batteries/rechargeable batteries wherever possible.
•
Dispose of the separated waste in an environmentally friendly and proper way (not with
household waste or municipal bulky waste).
