DISPOSAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Federal Republic of Germany:
The following comments refer specifically to the legal situation in the Federal
Republic of Germany. Further information can be obtained, for example, from the
responsible authorities or the local distributor.
Waste Electrical Equipment, Electrical or Electronic Accessories and Waste
Batteries (including rechargeable batteries)
Electrical equipment and batteries (including rechargeable batteries) contain
valuable raw materials that can be recycled, as well as hazardous substances which
can cause serious harm to human health and the environment, and they must be
recycled and disposed of correctly.
The symbol at the left depicting a crossed-out garbage can on
wheels refers to the legal obligation of the owner or end user
(German electrical and electronic equipment act ElektroG and
German battery act BattG) not to dispose of used electrical
equipment and batteries with unsorted municipal waste (“household
trash”). Waste batteries must be removed from the old device (where
possible) without destroying them and the old device and the waste
batteries must be disposed of separately. The battery type and its
chemical composition are indicated on the battery’s labelling. If the
abbreviations “Pb” for lead, “Cd” for cadmium or “Hg” for mercury are
included, the battery exceeds the limit value for the respective metal.
Old devices, electrical or electronic accessories and waste batteries (including
rechargeable batteries) used in Germany can be returned free of charge to Gossen
Metrawatt GmbH or the service provider responsible for their disposal in compliance
with applicable regulations, in particular laws concerning packaging and hazardous
goods. Waste batteries must be handedover in discharged state and/or with
appropriate precautionary measures against short-circuiting. Further information
regarding returns can be found on our website.
Packaging Materials
In accordance with German packaging law (VerpackG), the user is obligated to
correctly dispose of packaging and its components separately, and not together with
unsorted municipal waste (“household trash”).
Packaging which is not subject to so-called system participation is returned to the
appointed service provider. Further information regarding returns can be found
under https://www.gossenmetrawatt.de/en/about-us/company/product-returns/.
Rest Of World:

Further information can be obtained, for example, from the responsible authorities or
