Environmental notes and recycling
Lenze has been cered to the worldwide environmental management standard for many
years (DIN EN ISO 14001). As part of our environmental policy and the associated climate
responsibility, please note the following informaon on hazardous ingredients and the
recycling of Lenze products and their packaging:
Lenze products are partly subject to the EU Direcve on the restricon of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment 2011/65/EU: RoHS Direcve [UKCA: S.I. 2012/3032 - The Restricon of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulaons 2012] . This is documented accordingly in the EU declaraon of conformity and with
the CE mark.
Lenze products are not subject to EU Direcve 2012/19/EU: Direcve on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
[UKCA: S.I. 2013/3113 - The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulaons 2013] , but some contain baeries/rechargeable
baeries in accordance with EU Direcve 2006/66/EC: Baery Direcve [UKCA: S.I. 2009/890 - The Waste Baeries and Accumulators
Regulaons 2009] . The disposal route, which is separate from household waste, is indicated by corresponding labels with the
"crossed-out trash can".
Any baeries/rechargeable baeries included are designed to last the life of the product and do not need to be replaced or otherwise
removed by the end user.
Lenze products are usually sold with cardboard or plasc packaging. This packaging complies with EU Direcve 94/62/EC: Direcve on
packaging and packaging waste [UKCA: S.I. 1997/648 - The Producer Responsibility Obligaons (Packaging Waste) Regulaons 1997] .
The required disposal route is indicated by material-specic labels with the "recycling triangle".
Example: "21 - other cardboard"
REACH Lenze products are subject to REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006: REACH Regulaon [UKCA: S.I. 2008/2852 - The REACH Enforcement
Regulaons 2008] . When used as intended, exposure of substances to humans, animals and the environment is excluded.
Lenze products are industrial electrical and electronic products and are disposed of
professionally. Both the mechanical and electrical components such as electric motors,
gearboxes or inverters contain valuable raw materials that can be recycled and reused. Proper
recycling and thus maintaining the highest possible level of recyclability is therefore important
and sensible from an economic and ecological point of view.
•
Coordinate professional disposal with your waste disposal company.
•
Separate mechanical and electrical components, packaging, hazardous waste (e.g. gear
oils) and baeries/rechargeable baeries wherever possible.
•
Dispose of the separated waste in an environmentally sound and proper manner (no
household waste or municipal bulky waste).
