Disposal
If the packaging is no longer needed, it can be disposed of by local waste disposal
authorities. 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 many other countries, Sartorius AG takes care of the return and legally
compliant disposal of its electrical and electronic equipment. These products may not be
placed with household waste or brought to collection centers run by local public disposal
operation - 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 AG
Weender Landstrasse 94-108
37075 Goettingen, Germany
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.
