Deutsche Version: Entsorgung von Geräten von Lobaro.

This page informs you on our policy in respect to EU "Waste electrical and electronic equipment Directive" 2002/96/EC, implemented in German law by the "Gesetz über das Inverkehrbringen, die Rücknahme und die umweltverträgliche Entsorgung von Elektro- und Elektronikgeräten (Elektro- und Elektronikgerätegesetz – ElektroG)" The following statements about the disposal of retired Lobaro devices are binding for customers in Germany. Customers in other countries should contact there local authorities in order to acquire equivalent information for their respective country.

It is a major goal of EU directive 2002/96/EC reduce the amount of retired electronic devices disposed in household waste, but have them gathered in special facilities instead for recycling and orderly disposal. Electronic devices often contain hazardous substances which are harmful to the environment as well as to human health. Under no circumstances should they be disposed in household trash.

WEEE

The WEEE-directive is the EU-directive "Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment" (2002/96/EC). It aims to reduce the growing amount of electrical and electronic waste created by disposed electronic devices. The goal is to avoid and reduce disposal, and to make the disposal more friendly for the environment, by including the manufacturer in a broader responsibility.

Proper disposal of Lobaro B2B devices

Lobaro develops and manufactures devices for professional use. Because of this, our products have been recognized by the responsible agency "Stiftung EAR" (Elektro-Altgeräte Register) as B2B (business to business) products. Lobaro GmbH is registered under DE18824018.

Classification as B2B implies that Lobaro is not required to pick up disposed electronic devices from local recycling points, as the law "ElektroG" dictates manufacturers of consumer electronics to do.

Consequently, our products may not be disposed in this way.

In order to provide opportunities for the return of old equipment, we cooperate with several qualified recycling companies. If a device manufactured by us has become an end-of-life device and you wish to return it as a domestic customer, please contact: https://www.take-e-way.de/leistungen/elektrogesetz-weee-elektrog/b2b-altgeraete-ruecknahme-entsorgung/ and complete the questionnaire. Customers in EU countries other than Germany should contact their local distributor and/or local authorities for relevant information.
