Environmental protection is a key commitment of the Bosch Group.
Quality of products, efficiency and environmental protection are equally
important objectives for us. Environmental protection laws and
regulations are strictly observed.
To protect the environment, we use the best possible technology and
materials while taking into account economic considerations.
Packaging
Where packaging is concerned, we participate in country-specific
recycling systems that ensure optimal recycling.
All of our packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can
be recycled.
Old appliance
Old appliances contain materials that must be recycled.
The relevant assemblies are easy to separate, and all plastics are
identified. In this way the individual assemblies can be easily sorted and
directed to recycling or disposal.
