Disposal of LINAK’s products
As LINAK’s customers often ask us how our products can be disposed of or scrapped we have prepared this
guidance that enables a classification to different waste fractions for recycling or combustion.
Guidance
We recommend that our products be disassembled as much as possible and divided into different waste
groups for recycling or combustion.
For example, waste can be sorted into metals, plastics, cable scrap, combustible material, and recoverable
resources.
Some of these main groups can be further divided into subgroups; e.g. metal can be divided into steel/
aluminium/copper and plastic can be divided into ABS/PA/PE/PP.
As an example, the table below breaks down the different components in LINAK products to various recycling
groups:
