Disposal / environment: information under the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)
As we sell electrical and electronic equipment, we are obliged to inform you of the following:
"Crossed-out wheelie bin" symbol
All electrical/electronic devices that can be used in private households are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out wheelie bin shown below.
This symbol means: electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of with household waste. Instead, waste electrical equipment must be taken to a collection point separate from unsorted municipal waste.
Obligation to remove waste batteries and accumulators and lamps
Before handing in old devices at a collection point, you must separate, without destroying them, any waste batteries and waste accumulators that are not enclosed by the old device, as well as any lamps that can be removed from the old device without being destroyed.
Take-back obligation
Under the ElektroG2, we are not obliged to take back waste electrical equipment, as our storage areas are smaller than those specified in the law.
Other return options
In addition, private households can also hand in their waste electrical equipment free of charge at one of the municipal collection points. You can find an online directory of collection and take-back points near you here: www.ear-system.de/ear-verzeichnis/sammel-und-ruecknahmestellen#no-back
Data protection notice
You are personally responsible for deleting any personal data.

Information on batteries/accumulators
Every consumer is legally obliged to return waste batteries/accumulators.
The crossed-out wheelie bin means: batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of with household waste. On batteries containing pollutants, you will also find the following markings below the crossed-out wheelie bin:
- Pb = battery contains more than 0.004 per cent lead
- Cd = battery contains more than 0.002 per cent cadmium
- Hg = battery contains more than 0.0005 per cent mercury
Waste batteries and waste accumulators that are not enclosed by the old device must be separated from it before handing it over to the logistics service provider UPS. After use, they can be returned free of charge to a public collection point or wherever batteries and accumulators are sold. You can also return batteries and accumulators that we stock or have stocked as new batteries/accumulators to us free of charge in normal household quantities: Projektor AG, c/o visunext SE, Altbatterien-Entsorgung, Gutenbergstraße 2, 48282 Emsdetten.
