10. Recycling and eventual scrapping
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 considera-
tion of their recycling characteristics, and of the break-
down and separation properties of subassemblies. We
also take fully into account the environmental and
health hazards involved in recycling and in the disposal
of non–reusable waste items.

10.1 The appliance

The Vaillant ecoMAX 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 subse-
quent re–use. All plastic materials are duly identified to
facilitate sorting and separation when the time comes to
recycle the unit.

10.2 Packing

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 card-
board 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.
