Waste disposal & environmental protection

 

Disposal of products and packaging

Let's protect the environment together. Use the disposal channels provided for packaging and old appliances (electrical and electronic equipment, batteries) and make a contribution to recycling. We fulfil our responsibility as the first distributor (EPR = Extended Producer Responsibility) and have duly registered for this purpose with the legally prescribed bodies, among others:

EPR area Authority EPR no.
Packaging that is subject to system participation Stiftung Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (ZSVR) (Central Agency Packaging Register ) Lucid: DE4147293893554
Electrical and electronic appliances and batteries Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register (ear) (Foundation for Waste Electrical Equipment Register) WEEE-Reg.-Nr. 24482294

 

Packaging disposal

In Germany, packaging waste is mainly disposed of via the dual systems. You can find more information at www.muelltrennung-wirkt.de/en/ – an initiative of the dual systems. We assume responsibility for packaging that does not fall under the responsibility of the dual systems. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
 

Waste electrical appliances

As a manufacturer and distributor of electrical appliances, we have registered with the EAR and thus finance the nationwide disposal of old appliances. Our partner is take-e-way from Hamburg. We fulfil our information obligations in accordance with §Section 18 (2) of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act.

Our electrical appliances are sold exclusively via your local tradesman in the refrigeration, air conditioning, heating or sanitary sector. If you have any questions about taking back old electrical appliances, please contact them directly.
