  Disposal
Disposal
The packaging is to be taken to a local waste disposal site if no longer required. 
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 equipment 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 conformant 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:
  Sartorius 
  Weender Landstrasse 94-108
  37075 Goettingen, Germany
  SWT GÖ: WEEE-Reg.-Nr. DE 49923090
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 in local collection boxes. 
Sartorius will not take back equipment contaminated with hazardous materials 
(ABC contamination) – either for repair or disposal. Please refer to our website 
(www.sartorius.com) or contact the Sartorius Service Department for more detailed 
information regarding repair service addresses or the disposal of your device.
