WASTE MANAGEMENT
The long-life span of the product means that the recycling situation may differ from today when the
product is recycled.
The
product is required, by law, to be handled according to standard waste management procedures.
The materials can easily be separated to a high separation degree.
Plastic parts can, theoretically, be recycled. Recovering of energy through combustion is considered
the best option in the
present situation, since the plastic does not contain any substances dangerous to
the environment.
Circuit boards with components are required by law to be dismantled and constituent components to
be identified. Swedish companies in electronic recycling separate in three main fractions. Recycling of
materials, recovering of energy and dangerous waste.
Identified metallic constituents are returned to metal recycling.
Combustible materials are returned for safe disposal in a licenced incinerator.
Dangerous waste is returned for destruction to a licenced entrepreneur.
