10. PRODUCT RECYCLING.
This unit has a refrigeration gas in liquid state and electrical components. When the heat pump reaches the end of its
service life, it should be dismantled by an authorised company or may be transported to the place assigned by the
corresponding local authorities.
With the aim of reducing the amount of electrical and electronic equipment residues and the danger of
their components, to promote the recycling of the equipment and the appreciation of their residues, and
to determine a suitable management that attempts to improve the effectiveness of the environmental
protection, a series of regulations applicable to the manufacturing of the product and others related to the
correct environmental management when they become residues have been implemented.
It is also envisaged to improve the environmental behaviour of all the agents involved in the service life of the electrical
and electronic equipment, such as the producers, distributors, users and, specially, those agents directly involved in the
management of the residues derived from this equipment.
As of 13 August 2005, when you wish to throw away this unit, you have two possible return systems:
- if you acquire a new one that is of an equivalent type or it has the same functions as the one thrown away, you could
hand it over
at no cost to the distributor.
- or you could take it to the place so selected by the local authorities.
We shall cover waste treatment costs.
The apparatus are labelled with a symbol of a “crossed-out waste container”. This symbol means that the apparatus is
subject to selected waste collection, different from general waste collection.
Our products are designed and manufactured with top-quality, environmental-friendly materials and components, which
can be reused and recycled. In spite of this, several parts of this product are not biodegradable and therefore it should
not be left in the environment.
PVC
The most used plastifying agent in the different PVC applications is the DEHP (di-2-ethyl hexyl phthalate). The tests
conducted in different laboratories demonstrate that it does not present risks for human health in the concentration levels
so used in finished articles, according to the information from the German BUA (Advisory Body for the Relevant
Environment of the Existing Substances) and the VGA (German Health Authority) among others. The results of these
tests, together with the data collected in biodegradation studies, confirm that the DEHP cannot be considered dangerous
for the environment. All additives used in the PVC formulations and therefore in the food industry applications are
perfectly regulated at both European and Spanish level.
In Europe, the EC Directive 90/128/EU, later modified by the 95/3/EU. In Spain, we should mention the Royal Decrees
1125/1982 of 30 April 1982, later confirmed by the 1042/1997 of 27 June 1982.
Modern technology applied for years in the PVC production plants allow us to state that they do not mean a danger for
the environment. The service life analyses (SLA) demonstrate that the environmental impact of the PVC is equivalent or
even more favourable than those corresponding to other materials.
TITANIUM
Health effects. Elemental titanium and titanium dioxide are of a low order of toxicity. Humans overexposed to titanium
dioxide via inhalation can develop slight changes in lungs.
Effects of overexposure to titanium powder. Dust inhalation may cause tightness and pain in chest, coughing, and
difficulty in breathing. Contact with skin or eyes may cause irritation. Routes of entry: Inhalation, skin contact, eye
contact.
Carcinogenicity. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has listed titanium dioxide within Group 3
(The agent is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.)
Environmental effects. Low toxicity. No negative environmental effects of titanium have been reported.
