Environmental protection

At ENAR, as part of the Wacker Neuson Group, we are committed to protecting the environment. On this page you will find information on the proper disposal of batteries and of waste electrical and electronic equipment.

Disposal of batteries

For customers in EU countries

Some of our devices contain one or more batteries or rechargeable batteries (hereafter referred to as batteries). These batteries are subject to the European Directive 2006/66/EC on (waste) batteries and accumulators, as well as the corresponding national legislation. The Battery Directive outlines the procedure for handling batteries across the EU.

The batteries are labelled with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin. Below this symbol is the indication of the harmful substances they contain: Pb for lead, Cd for cadmium and Hg for mercury.

Batteries may not be disposed of with normal household waste. As the end user, you must dispose of waste batteries exclusively via the manufacturer, the dealer or the collection points set up for this purpose (legal obligation to return); the return is free of charge. Dealers and manufacturers are obliged to take back these batteries and to recycle them properly or dispose of them as hazardous waste (legal obligation to accept). You can also return any used batteries you obtained from us free of charge. If you do not hand in the batteries in person at one of our branches, please make sure the return shipment is sufficiently prepaid. Please also note any information on this subject in the sales contract and in the general terms and conditions of your point of sale.

The proper disposal of batteries prevents negative effects on people and the environment, ensures the specific treatment of harmful substances and enables valuable raw materials to be recycled.

For customers in other countries

Some of our devices contain one or more batteries or rechargeable batteries (hereafter referred to as batteries). The proper disposal of batteries prevents negative effects on people and the environment, ensures the specific treatment of harmful substances and enables valuable raw materials to be recycled. We therefore recommend that batteries are not disposed of with normal household waste, but through a separate, environmentally friendly collection. In some cases, national legislation also stipulates the separate disposal of batteries. Please ensure that batteries are disposed of in accordance with the regulations in force in your country.

Disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment

For customers in EU countries

Some of our devices are subject to the European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), as well as the corresponding national legislation. The WEEE Directive outlines the procedure for handling waste electrical equipment across the EU.

These devices are labelled with the symbol of a crossed-out dustbin. This means that they may not be disposed of with normal household waste, but must be taken to a separate, environmentally friendly waste collection.

These devices are professional electrical tools intended exclusively for commercial use (B2B devices according to the WEEE Directive). Unlike equipment mainly used in private households (B2C devices), in some EU countries, such as Germany, these devices may not be handed in at the collection points of public waste disposal facilities. If in doubt, ask your point of sale about the prescribed disposal procedure for B2B electrical equipment in your country and ensure that the devices are disposed of in accordance with the applicable legal requirements. Please also note any information on this subject in the sales contract and in the general terms and conditions of your point of sale.

The proper disposal of these devices prevents negative effects on people and the environment, ensures the specific treatment of harmful substances and enables valuable raw materials to be recycled.
