ANNEX NO 1

TAKE-BACK OF END-OF-LIFE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT / BATTERIES

1.1 We are committed to being environmentally friendly, so we provide you with easy and free ways to dispose of your end-of-life electrical equipment/batteries.

The Customer plays a crucial role in the management system for electrical appliances and batteries. He is the one who decides what to do with the old appliance. Old and unwanted electrical appliances and batteries do not belong in municipal waste containers.

The Customer is usually informed by the symbols below that the electrical equipment/batteries in question do not belong in municipal waste. All new electrical equipment/batteries are marked as such. The symbol may be indicated directly on the equipment, on its packaging or in the instruction manual or warranty card.

1.2 How to dispose of old appliances/batteries?

1.2.1 through a publicly accessible collection network designated for take-back by the Supplier,

1.2.2 through a publicly accessible collection network for take-back, see https://isoh.mzp.cz/registrmistelektro,

1.2.3 in the case of batteries, it is possible to order a collection container - FamilyBox - to the household and then dispatch the full container via the re:Balík,

Not only electrical equipment, but also batteries and accumulators contain many recyclable metals such as zinc, iron, manganese, nickel, cadmium and lead. Some of these substances are also very dangerous for the environment and human health, in particular mercury, lead and cadmium. Selected batteries are often marked with the symbol of the chemical element they contain (Pb, Cd, Hg). By taking batteries and electrical equipment to a take-back point, we are saving primary raw material resources, especially by recycling the material, and at the same time protecting our environment from possible improper disposal.

1.4 The most common types of batteries, their designation, use and the correct way to dispose of them:
