Disposal of waste electrical equipment / portable batteries / packaging (Europe)

Note on electrical equipment

The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates that the product shall not be mixed with general household waste when disposed of. Electrical and electronic products can contain hazardous substances that can harm the environment and human health when not treated correctly. The proper disposal of this product will ensure a proper treatment and helps conserving valuable natural resources just as well as a recycling according to the relevant legislations.

You can use our waste of electric and electronic equipment return service, if required, by placing an order using the email address: ifm@envenance.com. Our recycling partner envenance gmbh will agree a date for pick-up from your location. Recovery is effected properly and is free of charge for you. We reserve the right to charge incurring administration or logistics costs in individual cases.

Note on portable batteries

Some of the equipment supplied by ifm contains portable batteries of general use that are installed permanently for technical reasons. These batteries are generally not removable by end users, but can be removed in an appropriate way by independent professionals.

In certain applications, removal is not technically possible as continuity of power supply is necessary for the function of the product. This exemption is provided for in Article 11(3) of the Regulation concerning batteries.

Other ifm equipment contains removable batteries. The crossed-out dustbin symbol on the battery indicates that batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of with household waste. Waste batteries must be collected in accordance with legal requirements. Where necessary, our recycling partner’s service for collection can be contacted at ifm@envenance.com for this purpose. Recovery is conducted in a compliant manner and is free of charge. We reserve the right to charge incurring administration or logistics costs in individual cases.
