About the Circularity Instruction
To conserve important resources, we work to reduce the materials we use and support the circular economy beginning with the design of the product. A key path to reaching that goal is resource recovery from end-of-life electronics.
The Siemens Circularity Instructions are guidelines for implementing the circular economy requirements. They include recommendations concerning reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling existing materials and products for as long as possible.
The Siemens Circularity Instructions also provide guidance for recyclers on how to safely disassemble products to maximize recovery of resources. The guides provide step-by-step disassembly instructions and information on the material composition to help recyclers direct fractions to the appropriate material recycler.
Disassembly procedures are intended to be performed only by trained electronics recycling professionals. The recycler is responsible for independently evaluating and ensuring compliance with all applicable environmental, health, and safety laws related to the work. These include but are not limited to laws relating to the management, handling, shipping, and disposal of the outputs of this work as waste and laws in place to ensure the health and safety of all employees who support this work.
