Disposal Information

Important information on the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)

The symbol of the "crossed-out wheeled bin" means that you are legally obliged to dispose of these products separately from unsorted municipal waste after end of their life. The disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in household waste, such as the residual waste garbage bin or the residual recycling bin, is prohibited. Please always ensure proper disposal at designated collection and return points — this is the only way to guarantee a high-quality recycling process and prevent harmful substances from being released into the environment.

Removal of batteries and lamps

If the products contain batteries and accumulators or lamps that can be removed from the old device without causing damage, these must be removed before disposal. They must be disposed of separately as batteries or lamps. If a non-destructive battery removal is not possible, please contact the manufacturer or seller or consult independent specialist personnel.

Options for returning waste electrical and electronic equipment

Owners of old electrical or electronic equipment can return it free of charge within the framework of the options for returning or collecting WEEE set up by the public waste disposal authorities to ensure that the WEEE is disposed of properly. Please contact your city or local authority for information on collection points in your area, e.g. a local recycling center. Under certain conditions it’s also possible to return household WEEE to distributors and sellers free of charge, e.g. on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis, or, in case of very small WEEE with no obligation to buy an EEE of an equivalent type. Please always refer to your local regulations for instructions on proper disposal of your products.

Note on data protection

If the old electronic or electrical equipment contains personal data, you are responsible for deleting it yourself before you dispose of it.

Important information on the disposal of batteries and accumulators

Disposal of batteries

The "crossed-out wheeled garbage can" symbol on batteries means that you are legally obliged to dispose of them separately from unsorted municipal waste after end of their life. If batteries or accumulators contain mercury, cadmium or lead, you will find the respective chemical symbol (Hg, Cd or Pb) below the symbol of the crossed-out garbage can. The disposal of old batteries with household waste, such as the residual disposal or recycling bin, is prohibited. Make sure that the battery is empty before disposing of it. Please make sure you always recycle and dispose of all your waste batteries correctly — this is the only way to ensure a high-quality recycling process and prevent harmful substances from being released into the environment.

Options for returning waste batteries

Batteries can be returned free of charge to collection and recycling points in your area to ensure proper disposal of waste batteries including rechargeable batteries. Please contact your city or local authority for information on appropriate collection and recycling facilities in your area. It is also possible, under certain conditions, to return waste batteries to distributors and sellers free of charge.  Please always refer to your local regulations for instructions on proper disposal of batteries.

Important information on the disposal of packaging waste

Disposal of packaging waste

Please do not dispose of packaging waste in the normal household waste (residual waste garbage can), but dispose of it in the separate waste collection (e.g. paper collection, plastic collection). Please refer to the local regulations of your municipality or city.
