Disposal instructions for Weidmüller products

Dear Customers,

We hope that our products have met your expectations during their service life. But even after that time, we want to ensure a responsible approach to our environment and its valuable resources.

The goal of separate collection and recycling of old equipment as well as old batteries and rechargeables is the prevention of negative effects on the environment and on human health.

For this reason, please observe the following disposal instructions, which apply within the European Union.

Products marked with this symbol are subject to Directive 2012/19/EU: Collection and recycling of electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). These products contain substances that may be harmful to the environment and human health. They also contain substances that can be reused through targeted recycling.

Batteries and rechargeables marked with this symbol are subject to Directive 2006/66/EC: Collection and recycling of batteries and accumulators. Batteries and rechargeables contain substances that may be harmful to the environment and human health. Special care must be taken when handling batteries containing lithium.

If there is an element symbol beneath the symbol, the battery contains the chemical element specified: mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb).

Products marked with a crossed-out rubbish bin must not be disposed of in unsorted municipal waste or household waste! If personal data is stored on an electrical device, you are responsible for deleting this data before the device is disposed of.

Please help to avoid negative impacts on human health and the environment and support a sustainable recycling cycle:

  • If an old device contains batteries or rechargeables, remove them and dispose of the old device and the batteries/rechargeables separately.
  • Take the old equipment, batteries and rechargeables to a collection point set up in accordance with national legislation in your municipality or region.
  • Alternatively, you can send old Weidmüller devices after use properly packaged to your local Weidmüller sales organisation. We will take care of their professional disposal free of charge.
  • Try to reduce waste by having products repaired and by using rechargeable batteries.
  • Support and components for the repair of your Weidmüller product are available from our service team.
