Recycling & disposal

Sustainability & environmental protection

AKUSTIK-PROJEKT attach great importance to sustainability and environmental protection, which is why we often use packaging several times.

We receive many deliveries every day. In order to avoid waste, we also use the packaging material and the cardboard boxes from our deliveries for shipping your online orders. We also get cardboard and packaging material from nearby shops, which are then used to ship your orders.

So if you receive a shipment from us in a tool or household appliance box, please don't be surprised. We want to make a contribution to our environment.

We also rely largely on plastic-free packaging for additionally purchased packaging materials.

Recycling & disposal of WEEE, batteries and packaging

Disposal of old electrical equipment

Old electronic devices contain both valuable resources that can be recycled and pollutants that can lead to major environmental problems if not disposed of properly. For this reason, consumers are legally obliged to dispose of old electronic devices properly.

All electrical and electronic devices that are affected by this regulation must be marked with this symbol. It indicates that the device in question should not be disposed of with household waste at the end of its service life, but should be disposed of at an approved collection or return point.

As a dealer of electrical and electronic devices, AKUSTIK-PROJEKT is legally obliged to take back old devices in normal household quantities free of charge, regardless of whether they were purchased from us.

Disposal of Batteries

Batteries and accumulators contain valuable resources and pollutants. For this reason, consumers are legally obliged to return them to approved collection points. Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with the residual waste.

Used batteries and accumulators can be returned free of charge to municipal collection points or recycling centers or to any store where batteries/accumulators are sold.

All types of batteries are affected, regardless of shape, size, mass, material composition or use. The law also applies to batteries that are built into or attached to products.

Disposal of packaging

As an online retailer, AKUSTIK-PROJEKT is aware of its responsibility for packaging and therefore does not only rely on environmentally friendly packaging materials. We often use packaging several times or dispose of it professionally.

As a distributor of packaging, we are registered with a dual system. The legal requirement to participate in a dual system is regulated by Landbell AG, Leko and European Recycling Platform (ERP) Austria GmbH.
