We take environmental protection and the careful use of resources in the public interest seriously. Waste prevention should always take priority over disposal. If your old electrical or electronic equipment can still be repaired, donated, or sold, reusing it in this way would be a good alternative to disposal. Please also note the following information on returning old electrical appliances:

2. Disposal and recycling

3. Batteries and rechargeable batteries

End users are obliged to separate old batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the old appliance from the old appliance in a non-destructive manner before disposing of old electrical and electronic equipment. Old batteries and accumulators should also not be disposed of with household waste, but can be returned to municipal collection points or anywhere where batteries are sold. If you have purchased batteries and rechargeable batteries from us, you can return them to us or hand them in at our place of business for disposal.

Used batteries and rechargeable batteries that must not be disposed of with household waste are marked with this symbol:

4. Deletion of personal data

Before disposing of old electrical and electronic equipment, please ensure that all personal data has been deleted. To do this, reset the device to its factory settings, if possible in the settings. Please also delete all personal or confidential data on internal storage media. Please log out of all accounts (social media, cloud storage, messenger, etc.) on the old device.
