Dear customer,
As a distributor of medical electrical and electronic devices, it is our responsibility and obligation to ensure the take-back and environmentally sound disposal of these products. Our TOMEY and RODENSTOCK Instruments brand devices are registered with the Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register (EAR) under WEEE registration number DE 20455877.
To enable our customers to dispose of their old equipment in a sustainable manner, our distributors are happy to take back our medical devices on our behalf or, where appropriate, even accept them in part exchange. In the interests of sustainability, we strive to give these used devices a second life. Should regulatory reasons prevent reuse in our sales regions, we have a strong network of aid organisations and church-run institutions through which we can provide functioning products for medical use in developing countries. With this in mind, we ask you to regard the ‘crossed-out bin’ symbol on our old or defective devices as a reminder to treat them as recyclable material or as valuable items. An old appliance marked in this way must not be disposed of in unsorted household waste!
Batteries or rechargeable batteries that are not permanently installed must be removed before disposal and disposed of separately. Please note that batteries must not be disposed of with general waste (this is also indicated by the crossed-out bin symbol). The same applies to light bulbs that can be removed from the old appliance without causing damage.
We are properly registered in the EAR’s public register of manufacturers under Batt-Reg. No. DE 76914782.
The purpose of recycling is of great importance to our environment, particularly in terms of conserving limited resources and reducing negative environmental impacts. Only packaging that is disposed of properly can contribute to recycling.
In Germany, packaging waste is mainly disposed of via the dual systems. For this purpose, the ‘yellow bag’ or ‘yellow bin’, glass containers and collection bins for waste paper are available. Further information can be found at https://www.muelltrennung-wirkt.de; an initiative of the dual systems.
We are properly registered in the public manufacturer register LUCID under DE3575951341680.
We are delighted that you are taking advantage of our service for the sustainable disposal of our products and would like to remind you that end users are responsible for deleting any personal data from the old devices to be disposed of.
