Think to the future.
Protecting the environment is very important to us. Patona is part of a certified environmental management system. You can return your equipment, packaging and old batteries to us. We also pay attention to ecological production, delivery and disposal.
Environmental protection at PATONA means:
1. Waste disposal
2. Batteries / battery disposal
3. Old packaging, packaging disposal
1. Old devices
We take your old equipment back and dispose of it professionally and environmentally friendly.
Waste electrical equipment must not be disposed of in domestic waste. Waste electrical and electronic equipment can be the source of valuable raw materials, thus protecting the environment. According to the Elektrogesetz since 3/2006, WEEE must be operated with cables or batteries (also batteries), and / or fluorescent tubes and energy saving lamps must be disposed of separately from household waste.
For private households, a free and uncomplicated return is possible at a municipal collecting point.
You can also send your old equipment to us. Since 24.3.2006, all electrical appliances used in private households are provided with a crossed-out refuse bin. Such devices must NOT be thrown into household waste. Hazardous substances can be contained in electrical appliances, which puts a heavy strain on the environment. Also, human health can be severely endangered by improper disposal.
