Reycling instructionsLEROY-SOMER and KATO ENGINEERING are committed to minimizing the environmental impacts of itsmanufacturing operations and of its products throughout their life cycle. To this end, we operate anEnvironmental Management System (EMS) which is certified to the International Standard ISO 14001.The automatic voltage regulators manufactured by LEROY-SOMER and KATO ENGINEERING have the potential tosave energy and (through increased machine/process efficiency) reduce raw material consumption and scrapthroughout their long working lifetime. In typical applications, these positive environmental effects far outweighthe negative impacts of product manufacture and end-of-life disposal.Nevertheless, when the products eventually reach the end of their useful life, they must not be discarded butshould instead be recycled by a specialist recycler of electronic equipment. Recyclers will find the products easyto dismantle into their major component parts for efficient recycling. Many parts snap together and can beseparated without the use of tools, while other parts are secured with conventional fasteners. Virtually all parts ofthe product are suitable for recycling.Product packaging is of good quality and can be re-used. Large products are packed in wooden crates; whilesmaller products come in strong cardboard cartons which themselves have high recycled fiber content. If not re-used, these containers can be recycled. Polythene, used on the protective film and bags for wrapping product,can be recycled in the same way. When you will be preparing to recycle or dispose of any product or packaging,please observe local legislation and best practice.
