Main groups of disposal
Disposal of LINAK products
As LINAK customers often ask us how our products can be disposed or scrapped we have prepared this guide that enables a
classification to different waste fractions for recycling or combustion.
Guide
We recommend our products to be disassembled as much as possible and divided into different waste groups for recycling or
combustion.
For example, waste can be sorted into metals, plastics, cable scrap, combustible material, and recoverable resources.
Some of these main groups can be further divided into subgroups; e.g. metal can be divided into steel/aluminium/copper and
plastic can be divided into ABS/PA/PE/PP.
As an example, the table below breaks down the different components in LINAK products to various recycling groups:
By now almost all our cast plastic parts are supplied with an interior code for plastic type and fibre content, if any.
