Environmental notes and recycling

Lenze has been certified to the worldwide environmental management standard for many
years (DIN EN ISO 14001). As part of our environmental policy and the associated climate
responsibility, please note the following information on hazardous ingredients and the
recycling of Lenze products and their packaging:
Lenze products are partly subject to the EU Directive on the restriction of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment 2011/65/EU: RoHS Directive [UKCA: S.I. 2012/3032 - The Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2012] . 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: Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
[UKCA: S.I. 2013/3113 - The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013] , but some contain batteries/rechargeable
batteries in accordance with EU Directive 2006/66/EC: Battery Directive [UKCA: S.I. 2009/890 - The Waste Batteries and Accumulators
Regulations 2009] . The disposal route, which is separate from household waste, is indicated by corresponding labels with the
"crossed-out trash can".
Any batteries/rechargeable batteries included are designed to last the life of the product and do not need to be replaced or otherwise
removed by the end user.
Lenze products are usually sold with cardboard or plastic packaging. This packaging complies with EU Directive 94/62/EC: Directive on
packaging and packaging waste [UKCA: S.I. 1997/648 - The Producer Responsibility Obligations (Packaging Waste) Regulations 1997] .
The required disposal route is indicated by material-specific labels with the "recycling triangle".
Example: "21 - other cardboard"
REACH Lenze products are subject to REGULATION (EC) No 1907/2006: REACH Regulation [UKCA: S.I. 2008/2852 - The REACH Enforcement
Regulations 2008] . 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 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 level of recyclability is therefore important
and sensible from an economic and ecological point of view.
Coordinate professional disposal with your waste disposal company.
•
