Recycling
At our company, we value the environment and actively promote waste recycling as part of our responsibility to the planet. We comply with all applicable waste management regulations and standards to minimize the environmental impact of our operations. We are convinced that even in small steps we are contributing to a sustainable future for all of us.
Withdrawal of expired electrical equipment / batteries from circulation
The consumer plays a crucial role in the system of disposal of electrical appliances and batteries. It is they who decide how to dispose of the old appliance/battery. Old and unwanted electrical equipment and batteries do not belong in unsorted municipal waste, but should be handed over to collection points, known as take-back points, where they go for reuse or recycling. The consumer must be informed by the symbols below that the electrical equipment/batteries concerned do not belong in municipal waste. All new electrical equipment/batteries supplied by us are marked as such. The symbol may be indicated directly on the equipment, on its packaging or in the instructions for use or warranty card.
How to dispose of old appliances/batteries?
We cooperate with REMA Systém, a.s., which offers the following disposal options for old electrical appliances and batteries:
- for individuals - HERE;
- for registered legal entities - HERE;
- through the publicly available collection network of REMA Systém, a.s., which is designed for the take-back of electrical equipment;
- through the publicly accessible collection network of REMA Battery, s.r.o., which is intended for the take-back of batteries and accumulators;
- via the publicly accessible collection network for take-back on the website of the Ministry of the Environment (ISOH 2);
- if necessary, advice can be obtained from the free Smart Recycling line (800 976 679).
Why recycle?
Not only electrical equipment, but also batteries and accumulators contain many recyclable metals such as zinc, iron, manganese, nickel, cadmium and lead. Some of these substances are very dangerous for the environment and human health, especially mercury, lead and cadmium. Selected batteries are often marked with the symbol of the chemical element they contain (Pb, Cd, Hg).
By returning batteries and electrical equipment to take-back sites, we save primary raw material resources, especially through material recycling, and at the same time protect our environment from possible misuse.
Unused batteries that are not sent for recycling via take-back points but are stored, for example, in office drawers or elsewhere in homes or businesses can subsequently cause fires. Lithium batteries in particular have this property. For safety reasons, it is therefore very important to take used batteries for recycling as soon as possible.
