GENERAL AUTHORIZATION

Recycling the TA59
Environmental protection does not begin when it comes
time to dispose of the TA59; it begins with the
manufacturer. This product was designed according to
our internal norm “Environmental conscious product
design and development”.
The TA59 is manufactured without the use of CFCs und CCHS and is
produced mainly from reusable components and materials.
The processed plastics can, for the most part, be recycled. Even the
precious metals can be recovered, thus saving energy and costly raw
materials.
Please do not stick labels onto plastic case parts. This would help us to
re-use components and material.
You can protect our environment by only switching on your equipment when
it is actually needed. If possible, even avoid the stand-by-mode as this
wastes energy, too. Also switch your equipment off when you take a longer
break or finish your work.
At this time, there are still some parts that are not reusable. Wincor Nixdorf
guarantees the environmentally safe disposal of these parts in the
Recycling Center, which is certified pursuant to ISO 9001 and 14001.
So don’t simply throw your TA59 on the scrap heap when it has served its
time, but take advantage of the environmentally smart, up-to-date recycling
methods!
Please contact your competent branch or the Recycling Center Paderborn
(for European countries) for information on how to return and re-use devices
and disposable materials under the following fax number:
E-Mail: [e-mail]
We look forward to your message.
