Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Information for Private Households in Accordance with EU WEEE Requirements
The EU WEEE Directive requires proper handling of electrical and electronic
equipment at the end of its life. The most important points are summarized below.
1. Separate collection of waste equipment
Electrical and electronic devices that have become waste are referred to as
waste equipment. Owners of waste equipment must dispose of them separately from unsorted household waste. Waste equipment must not be disposed of in household waste, but instead taken to special collection or return systems.
2. Batteries, accumulators, and lamps
Owners of waste equipment must, as a rule, remove used batteries and
accumulators that are not enclosed by the device, as well as lamps that can be removed without destroying the device, before handing the device over to a collection point. This does not apply if the equipment is being prepared for reuse by a public waste management authority.
3. Options for returning waste equipment
Owners of waste equipment can hand them in free of charge using the collection and return systems established by public waste management authorities to ensure proper disposal. Additionally, return may also be possible under certain conditions through distributors.
- For distributors: Free return must be offered when purchasing an equivalent new device (1:1 return). In addition, some distributors may accept small old equipment for free return even without purchase (0:1 return), in accordance with local rules.
- Retail stores: Distributors and retailers offering electrical and electronic devices may be required to take back old devices, depending on their size, sales area, and national regulations.
- Distance selling (online retailers): Online distributors may be obliged to provide take-back for old devices through national collection systems, depending on the size of their storage and shipping operations.
- B2B manufacturers: For B2B equipment, free take-back is generally not required, but national rules may apply.
4. Data protection notice
Old devices often contain sensitive personal data. This applies particularly to
IT and telecommunications devices such as computers and smartphones. Please note, for your own interest, that each end user is responsible for deleting personal data from devices before disposal.

Battery Notice
Information on the Disposal of Used Batteries
The following information is intended for anyone who uses batteries or products containing built-in batteries and does not resell them in the condition in which they were supplied (end users).
Free return of used batteries
Since our shipments may contain batteries, we are obligated under the EU Batteries Regulation 2023/1542 to inform you of the following:
Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of in household waste. You are legally required to return used batteries and rechargeable batteries. Used batteries may contain harmful substances that, if stored or disposed of improperly, can damage the environment or your health. However, batteries also contain important raw materials, such as iron, zinc, manganese, or nickel, which can be recycled.
After use, you may return the batteries to us, or you can return them free of charge at a location near you (e.g., retail stores, municipal collection points) or at our shipping warehouse.
Return at retail locations is limited to usual household quantities and to those battery types that the retailer currently sells or has previously sold.
The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin means that batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of in household waste.
Under this symbol, you may also find the following chemical symbols indicating specific substances contained in the battery:
- Pb: battery contains lead
- Cd: battery contains cadmium
- Hg: battery contains mercury
