concluding the purchase contract, the distributor must ask the consumer about how
they intend to return the device. Apart from that, consumers can hand in up to three
old devices of one type at a distributor's collection point free of charge, without this
being tied to the purchase of a new device. However, the edge lengths of the
respective devices must not exceed 25 cm.
Consumers are encouraged to take measures to avoid waste. With regard to
electrical and electronic devices, this means extending their lifespan by repairing
defective devices and selling used devices that are in good working order instead of
disposing of them.
Remove the battery before disposal without causing damage and dispose of it
separately (see "Disposal of batteries").
Disposal of batteries
The accompanying symbol indicates that batteries must not be disposed of
with normal household waste.
Defective or used batteries must be
recycled in accordance with Directive 2006/66/EU and its amendments.
Consumers are legally obliged to hand in all batteries, regardless of whether they
contain harmful substances, such as:
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead, Li = lithium or not, to a collection point in
their municipality/district or a retail outlet, to ensure environmentally friendly
disposal and to recover valuable raw materials, such as cobalt, nickel or copper.
Batteries may be returned free of charge.
WARNING! Environmental damage due
to incorrect disposal of batteries!
Some of the possible materials, such as mercury, cadmium and lead, are poisonous
and, if not disposed of properly, endanger the environment. Heavy metals, for
example, can have harmful effects on the health of humans, animals and plants and
accumulate in the environment and in the food chain, and then enter the body
indirectly via food.
WARNING! Risk of explosion!
With used batteries containing lithium (Li = lithium), there is a high risk of
fire. Therefore, special attention must be paid to the proper disposal of used
batteries containing lithium. Incorrect disposal can also lead to internal and external
short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can
lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for humans and the
environment. For this reason, tape off the poles of lithium-based batteries prior to
disposal in order to avoid an external short circuit. Batteries that are not permanently
installed in the device must be removed and disposed of separately before
disposing of the device. Please return batteries only when fully discharged! Use
rechargeable batteries instead of disposable batteries whenever possible.
