Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to them for the return, recycle and recovery of WEEE and to minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the presence of hazardous substances. Voleatech GmbH electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) may contain parts and components, which at end-of-life might qualify as hazardous waste.

EEE and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) can be delivered free of charge to the place of sale or any distributor that sells electrical and electronic equipment of the same nature and function as the used EEE or WEEE.
