Materials
Drive enclosure • PC/ABS 2.5 mm, colour NCS 1502-Y (RAL 90021 / PMS 420 C)
• hot-dip zinc coated steel sheet 1.5 to 2.5 mm, thickness of coating 100 micrometres,
colour NCS 1502-Y
Package plywood and wood. Plastic covering of the package: PE-LD, bands PP or steel.
Disposal The drive contains raw materials that should be recycled to preserve energy and natural
resources. The package materials are environmentally compatible and recyclable. All metal
parts can be recycled. The plastic parts can either be recycled or burned under controlled
circumstances, according to local regulations. Most recyclable parts are marked with
recycling marks.
If recycling is not feasible, all parts excluding electrolytic capacitors and printed circuit boards
can be landfilled. The DC capacitors (C1-1 to C1-x) contain electrolyte and the printed circuit
boards contain lead, both of which will be classified as hazardous waste within the EU. They
must be removed and handled according to local regulations.
For further information on environmental aspects and more detailed recycling instructions,
please contact your local ABB distributor.
