This can result in serious personal injury, damage to property and the environment.
  • Page 88: Disposal

    Disposal Disposal Used cleaning felts are considered hazardous waste. During cleaning and polishing, heavy metals are deposited in the cleaning electrolyte used. Used cleaning electrolytes are therefore considered hazardous waste. Materials should be disposed of according to valid local and national regulations. Waste electrical and electronic equipment must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally sound manner in accordance with the European Directive and nation- al law.
