If pollutants are disposed off improperly, they may cause a lasting damage to human health and the environment. Thus, electrical and electronic equipment must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste so that it may be recycled or disposed of properly.
The EU Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which has been transposed into national law by the respective EU member states, applies to the disposal of equipment. As a customer, you have the option of disposing of the electrical and electronic equipment that you have purchased from us and that is subject to WEEE via the Lenze branch in your country.
We offer the following options for contacting us regarding WEEE within the German scope of the EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (Directive 2012/19/EU) and the EU Battery Directive (2006/66/EC with 2013/56/EU):
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol is located on the equipment. This information indicates that used electrical and electronic products must not be disposed of with normal household waste.
The packaging of the equipment must be disposed of separately. Paper, cardboard and plastics must be recycled. Information on the country-specific disposal obligations can be obtained from your regional disposal company.
