12 Recycling and disposal
The design of all Vaillant products takes into account the subsequent recycling and/or eventual
safe scrapping of each component used. Vaillant’s in–house rules set strict standards in this
respect. The selection process used for choosing raw materials includes full consideration of
their recycling characteristics, and of the breakdown and separation properties of sub
assemblies. We also take fully into account the environmental and health hazards involved in
recycling and in the disposal of non–reusable waste items.
12.1 Appliance
The Vaillant ecoTEC plus consists largely (92 %) of metal components designed for eventual
recycling by incorporation into the smelting process of a steelworks. This gives these parts
virtually unlimited scope for subsequent re-use. All plastic materials are duly identified to
facilitate sorting and separation when the time comes to recycle the unit.
12.2 Packaging
Vaillant endeavours to keep the amount of transport packaging used for its equipment to the
bare minimum necessary. Subsequent re–use is taken into account when selecting packaging
materials. High–quality cardboard has long been a valuable secondary raw material for the card
and paper industry. The sections of EPS (Styropor®) are required in order to protect equipment
in transit. EPS is 100 % recyclable and CFC–free. The foil–wrapping and securing straps are
likewise made of recyclable plastic.
