Here you will find legal information on the correct disposal of e-bike batteries (in accordance with the German Batteries Act).
The recycling rates achieved by our company (IKO Sportartikel Handels GmbH) in the previous calendar year in accordance with the calculation method of § 2 (19) of the Battery Act amounted to 100% for waste industrial batteries.
Please note the following important points regarding disposal:
1. disposal of electrical and electronic appliances
The symbol of the “crossed-out dustbin” means that you are legally obliged to dispose of these appliances separately from unsorted municipal waste. Disposal via household waste, such as the residual waste garbage can or the yellow garbage can, is prohibited. Avoid incorrect disposal by disposing of waste correctly at special collection and return points.
2. removal of batteries and lamps
If the products contain batteries and rechargeable batteries or lamps that can be removed from the old appliance without causing damage, these must be removed before disposal and disposed of separately as batteries or lamps.
3. options for the return of old appliances
Owners of old appliances can return them free of charge within the framework of the options for the return or collection of old appliances set up and available by public waste disposal authorities, so that proper disposal of the old appliances is ensured. It is also possible to return them to distributors under certain conditions.
4. data protection
We would like to point out to all end users of waste electrical and electronic equipment that you are responsible for deleting personal data on the waste equipment to be disposed of.
5. collection and recycling rates
Under the WEEE Directive, the EU member states are obliged to collect data on waste electrical and electronic equipment and transmit this to the European Commission. You can find more information on this on the BMU website.
