Disposal
MELAG devices are synonymous with high quality and a long life-span. When you eventually need to decommission your
MELAG device, the required disposal of the device can take place with MELAG in Berlin. Simply contact your stockist.
Dispose of accessories and consumption media which you no longer require in the appropriate manner. Comply with all
relevant disposal specification in terms of possibly contaminated waste.
The packaging protects the device against transport damage. The packaging materials have been selected for their
environmentally-friendly disposability and can be recycled. Returning the packaging to the material flow reduces the
amount of waste and saves raw materials.
MELAG draws the operator’s attention to the fact that they may be legally obliged (e.g. in Germany according to
ElektroG) to remove used batteries and accumulators non-destructively before handing over the device, provided they
are not enclosed in the device.
