DISPOSAL
GENERAL
When developing products and services, Atlas Copco tries
to understand, address, and minimize the negative
environmental effects that the products and services may
have, when being manufactured, distributed, and used, as
well as at their disposal.
Recycling and disposal policy are part of the development
of all Atlas Copco products. Atlas Copco company
standards determine strict requirements.
Selecting materials the substantial recyclability, the
disassembly possibilities and the ability of separation of
materials and assemblies are considered as well as the
environmental perils and dangers to health during the
recycling and disposal of the unavoidable rates of not
recyclable materials.
Your Atlas Copco compressor consists for the most part of
metallic materials, that can be re-melted in steelworks and
smelting works and that is therefore almost infinite
recyclable. The plastic used is labelled; sorting and
fractioning of the materials for recycling in the future is
for seen.
This concept can only succeed with your
help.
