Everyone has old electrical appliances.
Here are our take-back regulations.

The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) contains a large number of requirements for the handling of electrical and electronic equipment. The most important ones are summarized here. 

1. separate collection of old appliances

Electrical and electronic appliances that have become waste are referred to as old appliances. Owners of old appliances must dispose of them separately from unsorted municipal waste. In particular, old appliances do not belong in household waste, but in special collection and return systems. 

2. batteries and rechargeable batteries and LED

As a rule, owners of waste appliances must separate waste batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed by the waste appliance, as well as LEDs that can be removed from the waste appliance without destroying them, from the waste appliance before handing them in at a collection point. This does not apply if old appliances are prepared for reuse with the involvement of a public waste management authority. 

3. options for returning old appliances

We work together with several qualified recycling companies to create opportunities for returning old appliances. If an appliance manufactured by us has become an old appliance and you would like to return it, please contact: UTTec GmbH & Co. KG and complete the questionnaire (Download) from.

4. data protection notice

Old devices often contain sensitive personal data. This applies in particular to information and telecommunications technology devices such as computers and smartphones. In your own interest, please note that each end user is responsible for deleting the data on the old devices to be disposed of.

5 Meaning of the "crossed-out dustbin" symbol

The symbol of a crossed-out wheeled garbage can regularly shown on electrical and electronic appliances indicates that the appliance in question must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.
