12 Recycling and disposal
The design of all Vaillant products takes into account
the subsequent recycling and/or eventual safe scrapping
of each component used. Vaillant's in–house rules set
strict standards in this respect. The selection process used
for choosing raw materials includes full consideration of
their recycling characteristics, and of the breakdown
and separation properties of sub assemblies. We also
take fully into account the environmental and health
hazards involved in recycling and in the disposal of
non–reusable waste items.
12.1

Appliance

The Vaillant ecoTEC plus consists largely (92 %) of metal
components designed for eventual recycling by incorpo-
ration into the smelting process of a steelworks. This gives
these parts virtually unlimited scope for subsequent re-use.
All plastic materials are duly identified to facilitate sorting
and separation when the time comes to recycle the unit.
12.2

Packaging

Vaillant endeavours to keep the amount of transport
packaging used for its equipment to the bare minimum
necessary. Subsequent re–use is taken into account
when selecting packaging materials. High–quality
cardboard has long been a valuable secondary raw
material for the card and paper industry. The sections
of EPS (Styropor®) are required in order to protect
equipment in transit. EPS is 100 % recyclable and
CFC–free. The foil–wrapping and securing straps are
likewise made of recyclable plastic.
