Climate protection and sustainability are important to us!

You have purchased a high-quality, maintenance-free electronic component – the flashtramp®-lighting unit.

All components are protected against external influences.

Nevertheless, it can happen that a lighting unit does not function as intended. If this is the case the defective light-unit has to be exchanged and properly be disposed.

We ensure this by a WEEE-certificate for our flashtramp®-lighting units. There are over 1,500 collection points in Germany taking care that electronic components are being recycled accordingly.

We take care of it for you!

Simply send us the defective lighting unit back and we will take care of the professional disposal for you.

 

We take care of it for you!Sustainability

WEEE: The German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)

The WEEE is the regulation of the European parliament and the council over electric and electronic devices. Amongst others, they say that the manufacturers and quasi manufacturers of electric and electronic devices have to take back old devices in the scope of product responsibility and carry out disposal or recycling of them.

The return and recycling responsibility of the manufacturers are carried out through the national conversion, the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) of the EU regulation (WEEE) which are controlled and steered through a central coordination centre. The taking over of the end users old equipment will probably be carried out through a communal collection of electronic scrap by the respective public waste disposal authorities. The collected old equipment is then prepared for collection by the manufacturers at a certain transfer location, which is determined by the communities. Herewith, the manufacturers are informed of the transfer location for the old devices (collecting point of the community) through the coordination centre (EAR), according to a system which still has to be described and is undefined (probably the coincidence principle). All other organisational interests are obligations of the manufacturers.
