cesses which allow re-using and recycling the resulting waste. We regularly try
to replace pollutant-loaded raw materials and supplies by more environment-
friendly alternatives.
We guarantee that out products include no substances according to the chem‐
icals-ban-decree. We furthermore declare that our products are free of mercury,
asbestos, PCB and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Our products do not contain any hazardous substances which may be released

Disposal
Our products can be returned to our premises free of charge for disposal. It is
a precondition, however, that the products are free of oil, grease or other dirt.
Furthermore, the products returned for disposal must not contain any undue
foreign material or foreign components.
Send the products ”free domicile” to the following address:
Bosch Rexroth AG
Electric Drives and Controls
Buergermeister-Dr.-Nebel-Strasse 2
97816 Lohr am Main, Germany
The packaging materials consist of cardboard, wood and polystyrene. These
materials can be recycled anywhere without any problem.
For ecological reasons, please refrain from returning the empty packages to
us.
Most of the products can be recycled due to their high content of metal. In order
to recycle the metal in the best possible way, the products must be disassem‐
bled into individual modules.
Metals contained in electric and electronic modules can also be recycled by
means of special separation processes. The synthetic materials remaining after
these processes can be thermally recycled.
If the products contain batteries or accumulators, these have to be removed
before recycling and disposed of.
