9. Recycling information

1. Based on the objectives of environmental policy according to the European Community (EC)
directives for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
protect and improve the quality of the environment, protect human health and utilize natural
resources prudently and rationally. As an end user, you are kindly requested to do the following:
• If the appliance has stopped working, even after troubleshooting; first check if it can be
repaired, before disposing it. Contact your distributor or supplier for further information on
possible repairs of your appliance, if in doubt.
• If the appliance has reached its "End of Lifecycle" (EOL), in other words, the appliance is not
repairable or re-usable, do not dispose of the appliance as unsorted municipal waste. Instead,
call the relevant recycling company or the local Frigoglass Sales Office to separately collect the
appliance for treatment and recycling.
Note: The disposal of electronic and electrical appliances in landfill sites or through incineration
creates a number of environmental problems. When obsolete materials are not recycled, raw materials
have to be processed to make new products. This represents significant loss of resources as the
energy, transport and environmental damage caused by these processes is considerable.
Another problem is that these types of appliances may contain gases such as hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs) used as the refrigeration coolant. HFCs are greenhouse gases which when emitted into the
atmosphere contribute to climate change.
Fluorescent lighting from the appliance may contain potentially harmful substances such as toxic
heavy metals, in particular mercury, cadmium and lead. If they enter the body, these substances can
