Disposal
Note the labels of the packaging materials when sorting the
waste. These list the abbreviation (a) and number (b) with the
following meaning:
1-7: plastics; 20-22: paper and cardboard; 80-98: composites.
The icon with the crossed-out waste bin indicates that electrical and electronic
equipment must not be disposed of in the household waste. Consumers are obli
gated by law to dispose of obsolete electrical and electronic equipment sepa
rate from unsorted household waste. This ensures environmentally friendly and
resource-saving disposal.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries that are not permanently installed in electrical and elec
tronic equipment and can be removed without destruction must be separated from such
devices and disposed of properly before turning the device over to a collection point. The
same applies for illuminants that can be removed from the device without destruction.
Private owners of electrical and electronic devices can dispose of these at municipal collec
tion points. The disposal of obsolete devices is free of charge.
This free take-back obligation applies if the device has been purchased at a store or deliv
ered to a home address. The place of performance of the take-back obligation is the same as
the place of performance of the delivery. Transport charges may not be invoiced for the
returned devices.
In general, distributors are obligated to ensure the free take-back of obsolete devices through
suitable collection points within a reasonable distance.
Consumers can return obsolete devices to a take-back distributor if purchasing a new device
of the same type with essentially the same function. This also applies to home deliveries. In
distance selling, the free pick-up of an obsolete device when purchasing a new device is
restricted to heat exchangers, visual display units and large devices with an outer edge
length of more than 50 cm. The seller has to ask the consumer about their intention to return
the obsolete device at the time the sales agreement is concluded. Apart from this, consumers
can dispose of up to three obsolete devices of the same type at the seller's collection point
free of charge without having to purchase a new device. However, the edge length of the
respective devices must not exceed 25 cm.
