Environmental protection and disposal
Environmental protection is a key commitment of the Bosch Group.
Quality of products, efficiency and environmental protection are equally important
objectives for us. Environmental protection laws and regulations are strictly
observed.
To protect the environment, we use the best possible technology and materials while
taking into account economic considerations.
Packaging
Where packaging is concerned, we participate in country-specific recycling
processes that ensure optimum recycling.
All of our packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
Old electrical and electronic appliances
This symbol means that the product must not be disposed of with
other waste, and instead must be taken to the waste collection points
for treatment, collection, recycling and disposal.
The symbol is valid in countries where waste electrical and electronic
equipment regulations apply, e.g. "European Directive 2012/19/EC
on old electronic and electrical appliances". These regulations define
the framework for the return and recycling of old electronic appliances that apply in
each country.
As electronic devices may contain hazardous substances, it needs to be recycled
responsibly in order to minimize any potential harm to the environment and human
health. Furthermore, recycling of electronic scrap helps preserve natural resources.
For additional information on the environmentally compatible disposal of old
electrical and electronic appliances, please contact the relevant local authorities,
your household waste disposal service or the retailer where you purchased the
product.
