disposal and environmental protection

We and our suppliers have complied with our reporting obligations to the Federal Environment Agency.

batteries

Batteries do not belong in household waste. As a consumer, you are legally obliged to return used batteries. You can hand in your old batteries at the public collection points in your area or anywhere that sells batteries. Of course, you can also return the batteries available from us after use with the note "Used batteries" to the following address:

EMP Merchandising Handelgesellschaft mbH, returns service
- Used batteries -
Darmer Esch 73
D 49811 Lingen
Germany

or to any other EMP company

The symbols shown on the batteries have the following meaning:

  • Pb = Battery contains more than 0.004 percent lead by weight
  • Cd = Battery contains more than 0.002 percent cadmium by weight
  • Hg = Battery contains more than 0.0005 percent mercury by mass

The symbol of the crossed-out garbage can means that the battery must not be disposed of in household waste.

electrical and electronic equipment

Electrical and electronic devices must not be disposed of in household waste! You must separate old batteries and accumulators from old electrical devices (" old devices ") unless they are enclosed in the old device. As a consumer, you can hand in old electrical devices free of charge at a public collection point in your place of residence - or in the case of the following conditions - to us. If you buy a new electrical device from us, we will take back an old device of the same type from you free of charge (1:1 take-back). Regardless of whether you buy a new electrical device from us, we will take back all old devices that are smaller than 25 centimeters (0:1 take-back). If you want to dispose of old devices with us on which personal data may be stored, you must delete your data on the old device. We are not responsible for this. The symbol of the crossed-out garbage can means that you must dispose of electrical and electronic devices separately from household waste.
