10 Recycling and disposal
Recycling and disposal have already been taken into ac-
count during the development of all Vaillant products.
Vaillant's standards lay down strict requirements.
When selecting materials, the recyclability, dismountabil-
ity and separability of materials and components are
taken into account, just as environmental hazards and
health risks during recycling and the disposal of una-
voidable remains of unusable residue are.
10.1

Appliance

Your Vaillant ecoMAX 646 consists 92 % of metallic ma-
terials which can be melted down again at iron and steel
works and therefore can be recycled practically any
number of times. The plastic materials used are labelled
and, in this way, are already prepared for sorting and
fractionation for subsequent recycling.
10.2

Packaging

Vaillant has reduced the transport packaging of the ap-
pliances to a minimum. The strict selection of the pack-
aging materials is based on their recyclability. The high-
quality cardboard articles are secondary raw materials
which have been in demand in the cardboard and paper
industry for a long time.
EPS (polystyrene) ® is used to protect the products dur-
ing transport. EPS is 100 % recyclable and CFC-free.
Even the films and tightening bands are made of recy-
clable plastic.
