Disposal and recycling

The unit contains reusable materials. There are no known hazards or risks
associated with disposal of the product. All components can be discarded
after having been cleaned and disinfected.
When disposing of the product, we recommend that it be disassembled and
broken down into different waste groups for recycling or combustion.
The following table provides information on the recycling and handling of the
product.

Aluminium is theoretically 100% recyclable without
any loss of its natural qualities. It requires only 5% of
the energy used to produce primary aluminium. The
quality of recycled aluminium is so high that it can
be used again and again, even in the case of anodised
products as the anodised layer is a natural part of the
aluminium.
Steel can be recycled by being re-melted and included
as a secondary material in the production of new
steel.
Hard PVC is granulated and re-melted.
Use plastic sorting and recycling systems where they
are locally available, otherwise incinerating plastic
has the added benefit of generating energy, which can
be used for, for example, combined heat and power
production.
Like other plastics, polyurethane can be recycled in
two primary ways: mechanical recycling, in which the
material is reused in its polymer form, and chemical
recycling that takes the material back to its various
chemical constituents.
The electronic components should be collected
separately and returned to the designated recycling
service.
