5 DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
Taking care of spent equipment
Used equipment must be taken care of in an environmentally-friendly way.
When disposed of, a major share of the material, or its energy content, can be recycled. The
quantities possible to recycle vary depending on technical resources and practises in respective
country. Non-recyclable components shall be handed over to an authorized environmental waste
treatment facility for destruction or disposal.
Electronics
Electronic equipment shall be sent to an authorized recycling company or sorted into different
component materials and treated as such.
Metals
Metals can, in general, be melted down, recycled and used in new products. They shall be
sorted according to type and surface coating and handed over to an authorized recycling facility.
Metal components of steel and aluminium are substantial in size and easy to identify. Copper is
primarily used in transmission of power for spot welding. Silver or gold plating of contact
surfaces may occur.
Plastics
Thermoplastics can, in general, be re-heated and recycled without any major loss of quality.
They shall be handed over to an authorized recycling facility. POM occurs in swivel housings,
etc. PTFE in some sealings.
Rubber
Rubber shall be handed over to an authorized environmental waste treatment facility either for
recycling, disposal or destruction. Rubber occurs in O-rings.
Other material
All other material shall be sorted and handed to an authorized environmental waste treatment
facility in accordance with national legislation.
