Disposal Of Linak Products - Linak DESKLINE DL12 User Manual

Disposal of LINAK products

As LINAK customers often ask us how our products can be disposed of or scrapped, we have prepared this guidance that enables
a classification to different waste fractions for recycling or combustion.
Guidance
We recommend that our products be disassembled as much as possible and divided into different waste groups for recycling or
combustion.
For example, waste can be sorted into metals, plastics, cable scrap, combustible materials and recoverable resources.
Some of these main groups can be further divided into subgroups; e.g. metal can be divided into steel/aluminium/copper and
plastic can be divided into ABS/PA/PE/PP.
As an example, the table below breaks down the different components in LINAK products to various recycling groups:

By now, almost all our casted plastic parts are supplied with an interior code for plastic types and fibre contents, if any.

Disposal of batteries
Details regarding safe disposal of used and leaking batteries:
Batteries should be disposed in accordance with appropriate federal, state and local regulations. LINAK recommends that used
or leaking batteries are disposed through local recycling systems. Please do not throw used or leaking batteries in normal
household waste or in nature. This will cause damage to the enviroment.
How to deal with leaking batteries
Leaking batteries should be disposed as described above.
If leaking batteries are discovered in the product, the batteries must be removed at once to minimise damage to the product. If
leaking batteries are left in the product, it might become defective.
It is recommended to use plastic gloves when handling leaking batteries. The contents of leaking batteries can cause chemical
burns and respiratory irritation.
If exposed to the contents of a leaking battery, please wash with soap and water. If irritation persists, please seek medical
attention. In case of eye contact, please flush eyes thoroughly with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention."
