ENERAL
When developing products and services, Atlas Copco tries to
understand, address, and minimize the negative environmental
effects that the products and services may have, when being
manufactured, distributed, and used, as well as at their disposal.
Recycling and disposal policy are part of the development of all
Atlas Copco products. Atlas Copco company standards determine
strict requirements.
Selecting materials the substantial recyclability, the disassembly
possibilities and the separability of materials and assemblies are
considered as well as the environmental perils and dangers to health
during the recycling and disposal of the unavoidable rates of not
recyclable materials.
Your Atlas Copco compressor consists for the most part of metallic
materials, that can be remelted in steelworks and smelting works and
that is therefore almost infinite recyclable. The plastic used is
labelled; sorting and fractioning of the materials for recycling in the
future is forseen.

11.2 D
ISPOSAL
OF
MATERIALS
Dispose contaminated substances and material separately, according
to local applicable environmental legislations.
Before dismantling a machine at the end of its operating lifetime
drain all fluids and dispose of according the applicable local disposal
regulations.
Remove the batteries. Do not throw batteries into the fire (explosion
risk) or into the residual waste. Separate the machine into metal,
electronics, wiring, hoses, insulation and plastic parts.
Dispose all components according to the applicable disposal
regulations.
Remove spilled fluid mechanically; pick up the rest with absorbing
agent (for example sand, sawdust) and dispose it according the
applicable local disposal regulations. Do not drain into the sewage
system or surface water.
This concept can only succeed with your help. Support
us by disposing professionally. By assuring a correct
disposal of the product you help to prevent possible
negative consequences for environment and health, that
can occur with an inappropriate waste handling.
Recycling and re-usage of material helps to preserve
natural resources.
