Environmental protection

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol, which indicates that an item must be collected separately, may appear on the product label, on the battery, on the product itself, or on its packaging. This means that electrical and electronic equipment, as well as batteries, must not be disposed of with household rubbish once they reach the end of their life. Used electrical and electronic equipment and batteries should be disposed of at designated collection points, in accordance with local regulations.

Environmental protection
Environmental protection

Incorrect disposal of electrical and electronic equipment, including poor handling of waste equipment, can pose serious risks to both the environment and human health, as such products often contain hazardous substances, mixtures, or components.

If the equipment includes batteries, these too must not be thrown away with household waste. Used portable batteries should be placed in specially marked collection containers, available at recycling points as well as in shops that sell batteries, rechargeable cells, and related equipment.

Households are responsible for ensuring that their waste is handed over to appropriate collection points. In doing so, they play an important role in facilitating the reuse, recovery, and recycling of waste equipment. Under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act of 11 September 2015, anyone in possession of waste electrical and electronic equipment is legally obliged to pass it on to an authorised collector or body.

Environmental protection

Retailers and wholesalers also have duties when it comes to the non-professional collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment. They must accept such waste free of charge in accordance with the following rules:

  • a distributor must, free of charge, take back household waste equipment at the point of sale, provided it is of the same type and serves the same function as the product being sold. Likewise, when delivering household equipment to a customer, the distributor is required to collect, at no cost, waste equipment from the household at the place of delivery, provided it is of the same type and serves the same function as the equipment delivered.

  • a distributor operating a retail unit with a sales area of at least 400 m², as defined in Article 2(19) of the Act of 27 March 2003 on Spatial Planning and Development, and dedicated to the sale of household equipment, is required to accept, free of charge, waste equipment from households with no external dimension greater than 25 cm. This obligation applies within the retail unit or in its immediate vicinity and does not depend on the customer purchasing new household equipment.

    Where waste electrical or electronic equipment, batteries, or rechargeable cells are generated in the course of business activities, such waste must be transferred to an authorised recipient in accordance with Article 27 of the Waste Act of 14 December 2012.
