About this guide

In order to conserve important resources, we work on reducing the materials we use and supporting the recycling economy right from the product design stage. An important way to achieve this goal is the resource recovery of electronic products at the end of their service life. The Siemens recycler guide provides recyclers of electronic products with instructions on how to disassemble products safely in order to maximize resource recycling. This guide provide step-by-step disassembly instructions and material composition information to help recyclers direct fractions to the appropriate material recycler. Disassembly procedures should only be performed by trained electronics recycling professionals. The recycler is responsible for independently evaluating and ensuring compliance with all applicable environmental and health and safety laws related to the work. This includes, but is not limited to, laws related to the management, handling, shipping, and disposal of the results of this work as waste, and applicable laws to ensure the health and safety of all employees supporting this work.
