the applicable laws and regulations.

Disposal of low-voltage circuit breakers
Siemens low-voltage circuit breakers are environmentally sustainable products
consisting largely of recyclable materials.
For the purposes of disposal, we recommend dismantling/separation into the following
material fractions:
• Metals:
For forwarding to the recycling facility as mixed scrap
• Plastics:
Disposal as commercial waste for thermal recycling
• Electronics, insulated cables, motors:
Recycling by electrical scrap company
Due to the long service life of the Siemens low-voltage circuit breakers, it may be the
case that the instructions for disposal are no longer up to date at the time of
decommissioning or that other disposal methods are prescribed by national regulations.
The local customer service centers are available at all times to answer questions with
respect to disposal.
