DISPOSAL
Dear customers,
As an end user, you are legally obliged to collect waste electrical and electronic
equipment and batteries as well as accumulators separately from municipal waste.
We want to make this as easy as possible for you. Please note the information on
this page and on the back.
Notes on EU directive 2012/19/EU
(in Germany implemented in ElektroG
(Law about electric and electronic devices); elsewhere implementation may
differ)
We advise owners of electric and electronic equipment that waste electrical
and electronic equipment must be collected separately from municipal
waste in accordance with the applicable legal regulations. The symbol of a
crossed-out garbage can, which is shown on waste electrical and electronic
equipment, also indicates the obligation to collect this waste separately.
B. Notes on disposal and symbols for an electrical appliance based on EU
Directive 2006/66/EU
(in Germany in accordance with the Battery Act (BattG);
elsewhere, implementation may differ)
Old batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of with household
waste. As an end user, you are legally obliged to return used batteries.
The
symbol with the crossed-out garbage can means that you are not allowed to
dispose of old batteries in the household waste.
Use the official collection points for this, such as the collection points of public waste
disposal carriers. You can also return used batteries to retail outlets, provided they sell
batteries. If the symbol Cd, Hg, or Pb is displayed under the symbol of the crossed-out
garbage can, this is an indication that the battery contains either cadmium, mercury
or lead. These are toxic heavy metals that not only pose significant risks to the
environment but also to human health.
Recycling loop
Packaging material can be conveyed back to the raw material cycle. Dispose
of packaging material in accordance with legal provisions. Information can be
retrieved from the return or collections systems of your community.
