11 Disposal
11.1 General
When developing products and services, Atlas Copco tries to understand, address, and minimize the
negative environmental effects that the products and services may have, when being
manufactured, distributed, and used, as well as at their disposal.
Recycling and disposal policy are part of the development of all Atlas Copco products. Atlas Copco
company standards determine strict requirements.
Selecting materials the substantial recyclability, the disassembly possibilities and the separability of
materials and assemblies are considered as well as the environmental perils and dangers to health
during the recycling and disposal of the unavoidable rates of not recyclable materials.
Your Atlas Copco compressor consists for the most part of metallic materials, that can be remelted
in steelworks and smelting works and that is therefore almost infinite recyclable. The plastic used is
labelled; sorting and fractioning of the materials for recycling in the future is forseen.
Note
11.2 Disposal of materials
Dispose contaminated substances and material separately, according to local applicable
environmental legislations.
Before dismantling a machine at the end of its operating lifetime drain all fluids and dispose of

Remove spilled fluid mechanically; pick up the rest with absorbing agent (for example sand,
sawdust) and dispose it according the applicable local disposal regulations. Do not drain into the
