Electronics

The products are marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin (WEEE label), indicating that they should not be discarded as unsorted waste but must be sent to separate collection facilities for recovery and recycling.

Please review the guidelines provided by your local municipality to ensure sustainable disposal and contribute to resource conservation through recycling

Managing and preventing waste of electronics

• Before deciding to discard the device, please consider repair or reconditioning as alternatives. We provide repair services, reconditioned parts, and software updates to prolong the product's lifespan. Extending the lifespan significantly reduces the environmental footprint and offers economic benefits to consumers.

• E-waste contains a complex mixture of materials, some of which are hazardous. If discarded devices are not managed properly, they can cause significant environmental and health problems. Additionally, modern electronics contain rare and valuable resources, including critical raw materials, which can be recycled and reused with effective waste management.

• Improving the collection, treatment, and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment at the end of their life can enhance resource efficiency and promote the transition to a circular economy. Furthermore, it can reinforce the security of supply for critical raw materials, thereby strengthening the EU's strategic autonomy.

• We fulfil extended producer responsibilities (EPR) by financing waste collection and reporting to environmental protection agencies. We operate take-back systems and connect with producer responsibility organisations (PROs), either directly or through affiliation, designed to meet specific country requirements and legislation.
