In October 2024, we achieved compliance with the WEEE Directive in Germany. This means if you’re in Germany, you can easily and responsibly get rid of your old or broken electrical tools. Here’s how the WEEE Directive makes this possible and why it’s good news for you.

How Does the WEEE Directive Benefit You?

• Protects the Environment
  By ensuring electronic waste is recycled and treated properly, the directive helps reduce pollution and saves valuable resources. This means cleaner air, water, and soil for everyone.
• Easy Recycling 
  OptionsManufacturers and retailers must provide collection points or services for returning old devices. This makes it simple for you to dispose of your unwanted tools responsibly.
• No Extra Costs for You
  The cost of collecting and recycling is covered by manufacturers. You don’t need to worry about paying extra to dispose of your old electronics.
• Better, Longer-Lasting Products
  The directive encourages companies to design products that are easier to repair, recycle, and last longer. This means you get high-quality tools that are better for the planet.
• Helps You Stay Informed
  It also promotes awareness about electronic waste and how to handle it properly, so you can make responsible choices with confidence.
• Keeps You Safe
  Proper recycling prevents harmful materials like lead and mercury from polluting the environment, reducing risks to your health and your community.
