Environmental protection and disposal

Environmental protection is a fundamental corporate strategy of the Bosch Group.
The quality of our products, their economy and environmental safety are all of equal importance to us and all environmental protection legislation and regulations are strictly observed.
We use the best possible technology and materials for protecting the environment taking account of economic considerations.

Packaging
Where packaging is concerned, we participate in country-specific recycling processes that ensure optimum recycling.
All of our packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.

Used appliances
Used appliances contain valuable materials that can be recycled.
The various assemblies can be easily dismantled. Synthetic materials are marked accordingly. Assemblies can therefore be sorted by composition and passed on for recycling or disposal.

Old electrical and electronic appliances
This symbol means that the product must not be disposed of with other waste, and instead must be taken to the waste collection points for treatment, collection, recycling and disposal.
The symbol is valid in countries where waste electrical and electronic equipment regulations apply, e.g. “(UK) Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013 (as amended)”. These regulations define the framework for the return and recycling of old electronic appliances that apply in each country.
As electronic devices may contain hazardous substances, it needs to be recycled responsibly in order to minimize any potential harm to the environment and human health. Furthermore, recycling of electronic scrap helps preserve natural resources.
For additional information on the environmentally compatible disposal of old electrical and electronic appliances, please contact the relevant local authorities, your household waste disposal service or the retailer where you purchased the product.
