About the Circularity Instruction
To support the circular economy and conserve resources, our products strive to reduce the consumption of materials. This begins with the design of the product. Once a product has reached end of life, every effort should be made to recover the reusable materials.
The Siemens Circularity Instructions help to implement the circular economy requirements. They include recommendations for reuse, repair, refurbishment, and recycling of existing materials and products.
The Siemens Circularity Instructions also provide guidance for recyclers on how to safely disassemble products to maximize the recovery of resources. These guides list the major material components of each product ("fractions"), so that recyclers can direct these components to the appropriate processing facility.
The recycler is responsible for independently evaluating the proper compliance with all applicable environmental, health, and safety laws related to recycling activities. 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.
