8. Disposal
8.1 General Notes
If the packaging is no longer needed, it can be disposed of by local waste disposal
authorities. The packaging is made of environmentally friendly materials that can be
used as secondary raw materials.
The equipment, including accessories and batteries, should not be disposed of as
regular household waste.
EU legislation requires its Member States to collect electrical and electronic equip-
ment and dispose of it separately from other unsorted municipal waste so that it may
be recycled.
In Germany and several other countries, Sartorius itself assumes responsibility for
the return and legally compliant disposal of its electronic and electrical products.
These products may not be placed with household waste or brought to collection
centers run by local public disposal operations – not even by small commercial
operators. For disposal in Germany and in the other member nations of the European
Economic Area (EEA), please contact our local service technicians or our Service
Center in Goettingen, Germany:

August-Spindler-Strasse 11
D-37079 Goettingen

In countries that are not members of the European Economic Area (EEA) or where no
Sartorius subsidiaries or dealerships are located, please contact your local authorities
or a commercial disposal operator.
Prior to disposal and | or scrapping of the equipment, any batteries should be removed
and disposed of at local collection points.
Devices contaminated with hazardous materials (NBC contamination) will not be
accepted for repair or disposal. Detailed information with service addresses for
returning your device for repair or disposal can be found on our website
(www.sartorius.com) or requested from a Sartorius Service Center.
