7. Information about Disposal
The GRÜNSPECHT hand warmers are only intended to be used once. After
use, you can dispose of them easily and in an environmentally-friendly manner.
In place of the sodium chloride which is used in many single-use body war-
mers, the GRÜNSPECT "Natural hand warmers" contain potassium chloride,
which is also used in plant fertilisers. Potassium is a plant nutrient, which is
why, after usage and cooling, the hand warmer filling can be disposed of in
bio-waste or compost.
CAUTION! Before disposal, allow the hand warmer to cool completely (up
to 48 hours), in order to avoid ignition or combustion. The heat pad cover beco-
mes slightly porous once it has cooled down, which means that small particles
from the pad filling could leak out. Please dispose of the heat pad as quickly as
possible once it has cooled down.
Once it is fully cooled, knead the warmer with your hands. Then carefully open on
the narrow edge using scissors and empty the filling into your bio-waste or compost.
CAUTION! When disposing of the filling, make sure that you avoid direct
contact between the filling and mucous membranes – if contact should occur,
then follow the safety instructions under Point 5.
We recommend disposal of 2 hand warmer fillings to 10 litres of compost or
bio-waste, in order to ensure sufficient dilution. When using in household com-
post, the quantity of hand warmers to be disposed of over a longer period of
time is a maximum of nine warmers a month (in accordance with a study by the
Frauenhofer Institute for Molecular Biology and Applied Ecology, 2019). Do not
use the hand warmer filling for ornamental plants.
The remaining elements of the hand warmer and the packaging must be se-
parated by material type and disposed of in household waste and taken to the
relevant recycling scheme. Please be aware of regional disposal guidelines.
The Pushchair Muff made of 100 % cotton (COF) can be re-used and is washa-
ble (for details see Chapter 6: Storage, care and shelf life).
