Recycling Policy - Seating Matters Milano Instruction Manual

Recycling
Policy
Seating Matters are committed to reducing waste and improving our care for the
environment. Where possible we have manufactured our chairs with recyclable
materials. Guidance on recycling can be found below.
The WEEE Directive
The WEEE Directive, 2012/19/EC, urges
producers of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (EEE) to provide information on
how these products can be treated, reused or
recycled.
In order to comply with this directive in the
European Union, Seating Matters electrical
components are marked with a crossed out
wheelie bin. This indicates that the electrical
components should be treated in accordance
with the WEEE regulations after their
useful life.

Plastic Components
Many of our plastic components are
made from polypropylene and can be
recycled as long as they are recycled
with other polypropylene resin materials.
Polypropylene sheets can be recycled with
any other materials that have this symbol.
Plastic Trays
Our plastic tray tables are made from
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol
(PETG) which is a sturdy, transparent,
easily cleaned material. Like acrylic,
PETG is 100% recyclable and can be recycled
and re-purposed indefinitely. Capable of being
sterilized, it's a renowned food-safe material
and will help us meet a higher standard
towards infection prevention & control. PETG's
damage resistance is far higher than that of
acrylic & has an impact resistance 30 times
that of glass. PETG can be recycled with any
other materials that have this symbol.

The Milano™ is CE marked to show
conformance to the Medical Devices Directive
93/42/EEC and conforms to BS ISO 7176 at

specifications or reinforcements.
