Each individual EU member state has implemented the WEEE regulations into national law in slightly different ways. Please follow your national law when you want to dispose of any electrical or electronic products. More details can be obtained from your national WEEE recycling agency.

Geräte müssen den lokalen Sammelsystemen bzw. örtlichen Sammelstellen zugeführt werden!

Dort werden sie kostenlos entgegen genommen. Die Kosten für den weiteren Recyclingprozess

übernimmt die Gesamtheit der Gerätehersteller.
