12. Environmental regulations and disposal information
Electrical and electronic devices are marked with a symbol of a crossed-out wheelie bin.
This symbol indicates that electrical and electronic devices may not be disposed of with
normal domestic waste, but must instead be taken to a separate disposal centre. The
materials contained in the old electrical devices can be reused. In addition, any old
batteries, whether conventional or rechargeable, which are removable and lamps which
can be removed from the old device without causing damage should be removed from the
device prior to disposal.
In accordance with Section 17, Paragraph 1 and 2 ElektroG (Electrical and Electronic
Device Act), we are obliged to take back old devices free of charge. You can take your
old electrical devices to a local collection point for disposal free of charge. On request,
we can take back the following when you purchase a new electrical or electronic device
- a heat transfer unit,
- a screen, monitor or device with a screen with a surface area of more than 100 square
centimetres or
- an old device with at least one external dimension of more than 50 centimetres (large
appliance)
free of charge, providing the listed devices are the same type of device and largely fulfil
the same functions as the new device.
Small devices, lamps, small IT and telecommunications devices where none of the external
dimensions measures more than 50 centimetres and devices which have no external
dimension greater than 25 centimetres can be returned free of charge to us on purchase
of a comparable new device.
Irrespective of the purchase of a new electrical device, you can return an old device with
no dimension greater than 25 cm to us free of charge.
Please note that you are responsible for the deletion of any personal data on your old
device.
The symbol of the crossed-out wheelie bin on conventional and rechargeable batteries
indicates that they cannot be disposed of in normal domestic waste but must be disposed
of separately.
Where batteries contain toxic materials, the chemical symbol of the toxic material is shown
underneath the symbol, with meanings as follows:
- Pb: Battery contains lead
- Cd: Battery contains cadmium
- Hg: Battery contains mercury
You are obliged by law to return used batteries. Old batteries can contain toxic materials
which can be damaging to health or the environment if not properly stored or disposed of.
Batteries also contain important raw materials, such as iron, zinc, manganese and nickel,
which can be reused.
After use, you can return the batteries to us or to a local collection point (e.g. in retail
outlets or a local collection point) free of charge. Please note that batteries must be
disposed of fully discharged at appropriate collection points for old batteries. If disposing
of batteries which are not fully discharged, take precautions to prevent short circuits.
