Information on the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU

Meaning of the crossed out trash can symbol

All of our electronic devices (bottle warmers, pap warmers, sleep aids) are marked with the crossed out trash can.

The crossed-out trash can means that you are legally obligated to dispose of these devices separately from unsorted municipal waste, i.e. old devices must be disposed of separately from household waste. Batteries or rechargeable batteries that are not permanently installed must be removed beforehand and disposed of separately.

With our products, all batteries are permanently installed – so you can dispose of the products as a whole.

A bar under the garbage can means that the product was placed on the market after August 13, 2005.

Owners of old appliances can hand them in within the framework of the possibilities for the return or collection of old appliances set up and available by public waste management authorities, so that proper disposal is ensured.

Personal data (WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU)

Waste prevention measures and litter prevention measures (Battery Directive 2006/66/EC )

Reduce battery waste as much as possible by using longer-life batteries or rechargeable batteries. Don’t leave batteries or battery-operated electrical and electronic equipment lying around and thus avoid littering the environment – for the protection of our children.

Possibilities of preparation for reuse of spent batteries (Battery Directive 2006/66/EC )

Check the possibility of recycling used batteries.

Possible effects of substances contained in batteries on the environment and human health (Battery Directive 2006/66/EC )
