Environmental notes and recycling

Lenze has been certified according to the global environmental management standard (DIN EN) ISO 14001
for many years. As part of our environmental policy and the associated climate responsibility, please observe
the following information on hazardous substances and the recycling of Lenze products and their packaging:
Lenze products are subject in part to EU Directive 2011/65/EU on the restriction of the use of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic devices (RoHS). This is documented accordingly in the EU
Declaration of Conformity and with the CE mark.
Lenze products are not subject to EU Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE), but do sometimes contain batteries/rechargeable batteries in accordance with EU Directive
2006/66/EC (Battery Directive). The separate from domestic waste disposal route is shown by the
corresponding labeling with the "crossed-out garbage can".
Any batteries/rechargeable batteries included are designed for the service life of the product and do not have
to be replaced or otherwise removed by the end user.
Lenze products are usually sold with cardboard or plastic packaging. This packaging corresponds to EU
Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste (Packaging Directive). The required waste disposal route
is shown by material-specific labeling with the "recycling triangle".
Example: "21 - Miscellaneous cardboard"
REACH Lenze products are subject to the European Regulation EC No. 1907/2006 (REACH chemical regulation). When
used as intended, exposure of substances to humans, animals and the environment is excluded.
Lenze products are industrial electrical and electronic products and are to be disposed of professionally.
Both the mechanical and electrical components, such as electric motors, gearboxes, or inverters, contain
valuable raw materials that can be recycled and reused. Proper recycling and thus maintaining the highest
possible reusable materials cycle is therefore important and sensible from an economic and ecological point
of view.
• Always coordinate professional waste disposal with your local waste disposal company.
• Separate mechanical and electrical components, packaging, hazardous waste (e.g. gearbox oils), and
batteries/rechargeable batteries wherever possible.
• Dispose of the separated waste in an environmentally friendly and proper way (not with household waste
or municipal bulky waste).
