The electric wheelchair itself and its individual components are designed to enjoy a long service life. During
manufacture and construction,care was taken to use recyclable and harmless raw materials as much as pos-
sible. At the end of its service life, the electric wheelchair is suitable for careful recycling and environmentally
friendly disposal.
L L
For the purposes of recycling, the electric wheelchair can be dismantled into following principal materials:
› Metals
› Plastics and composite materials
› Electronic waste
› Accumulators.
An effort should be made to achieve a high-level of recycling appropriate to the type and nature of the waste
material (according to German law life-cycle management of waste materials). The recycling process is con-
sidered economically feasible if the costs associated with the process are not out of proportion to the costs
that would be incurred by disposal of the waste.
