End of Life Disposal
The Xantrex Gateway is designed with environmental awareness and sustainability in mind. At the end of
its useful life, the Xantrex Gateway can be decommissioned and disassembled. Components which can
be recycled must be recycled and those that cannot be recycled must be disposed of according to local,
regional, or national environmental regulations.
Many of the electrical components used in the Xantrex Gateway are made of recyclable material like
steel, copper, aluminum, and other alloys. These materials can be auctioned off to traditional scrap metal
recycling companies who resell reusable scraps.
Electronic equipment such as the circuit boards, connectors, and fuses can be broken down and recycled
by specialized recycling companies whose goal is to avoid having these components end up in the landfill.
For more information on disposal, contact Xantrex.
