Zimmer on Suomen jätelaissa täytäntöön pantujen sähkö- ja elektroniikkalaiteromua (SER) koskevien, 13.8.2005 voimaan tulleiden määräysten mukaisesti velvollinen huolehtimaan keräyksen, käsittelyn, kierrätyksen ja hyödyntämisen järjestämisestä sellaiselle sähkö- ja elektroniikkalaiteromulle, jonka kuluttajan ostama uusi vastaava tai saman käyttötarkoituksen omaava laite korvaa. Vanhaa laitetta, jonka uusi Zimmeriltä ostettu laite korvaa, kutsutaan vanhaksi SER-jätteeksi.
Zimmer on jätelain nojalla velvollinen huolehtimaan keräyksen, käsittelyn, kierrätyksen ja hyödyntämisen järjestämisestä myös kuluttajan Zimmeriltä 13.8.2005 jälkeen ostamalle uudelle sähkö- ja elektroniikkalaitteelle, kun kyseisestä uudesta laitteesta lopulta tulee romua. Tästä käytetään nimitystä uusi SER-jäte.
Zimmer on ympäristövastuullinen yhtiö ja järjestää SER-jätteen keräyksen ja kierrätyksen kaikille Zimmerin sähkö- ja elektroniikkalaitteille riippumatta siitä, milloin ne on ostettu ja milloin niistä on tullut romua.
Soveltamamme periaate on seuraava:
Zimmer on solminut kierrätyssopimuksen European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) ‑kierrätysverkoston kanssa ja vastaa kaikista laitteen käsittely-, kierrätys- ja hyödyntämiskuluista sen saapuessa EARN:n Suomen-toimipisteeseen. Kaikki Zimmerin tuotteiden ostamisesta syntyvä vanha ja uusi SER-jäte luokitellaan tavanomaiseksi jätteeksi.
Suomen jätelain, jäteasetuksen ja valtioneuvoston päätöksen vaatimusten täyttämiseksi tulee SER-jätteen kuljettamisessa käyttää kuljetusyhtiöitä, joilla on voimassa oleva jätteenkuljetuslupa. Zimmer kuljetusyhteistyökumppani on:
Jätteenkuljettajan nimi |
Verkkosivusto |
Transpoint |
Tulosta käytettävä kierrätysetiketti oheisesta linkistä. Täytä siihen tarvittavat tiedot ja kiinnitä se EARN:ille menossa olevaan jätelähetykseen.
Zimmer maksaa SER-jätteen kuljettamisen Zimmerin osoittamalle suomalaiselle kierrätyslaitokselle.
Zimmer maksaa SER-jätteen käsittelystä, kierrätyksestä ja hyödyntämisestä koituvat kulut siten, että suomalaisissa SER-määräyksissä asetetut tavoitteet saavutetaan.

Tous les nouveaux DEEE générés suite à l'acquisition de produits Zimmer sont classifiés comme déchets non-dangereux.
Il est de votre responsabilité de régler les frais de collecte et de transport vers un partenaire EARN. Conformément au décret 98-679 1998 relatif au transport par route, au négoce et au courtage de déchets, vous êtes libres d'utiliser les services du transporteur de votre choix pour transporter votre DEEE non-dangereux vers un recycleur EARN si l'équipement transporté pèse moins de 500 kg.

De regelgeving met betrekking tot het beheer van afval van elektrische en elektronische apparaten in Nederland is uitgewerkt in het Besluit van 1 januari 2005 Conform dit besluit zijn de kosten voor de inzameling en recycling van elk afgedankt elektrisch of elektronisch apparaat aangeschaft van Zimmer vóór 13 augustus 2005 voor rekening van de klant. Dit geldt ook als het apparaat in de tussentijd is vervangen door een nieuw apparaat van Zimmer. Apparatuur aangeschaft vóór 13 augustus 2005 wordt beschouwd als historisch afval.
Conform het besluit, is Zimmer verplicht om de inzameling, behandeling, recycling en hergebruik van nieuwe elektrische en elektronische apparaten, aangeschaft na 13 augustus 2005 te bekostigen in het geval dat dit apparaat als afval wordt afgedankt. Dit wordt nieuw afval genoemd.
Zimmer is een milieubewust bedrijf. We hebben daarom besloten om een afval inzameling en verwerking op te zetten voor onze elektrische en elektronische producten die in de afvalfase geraken, zonder onderscheid te maken tussen historisch of nieuw afval.
Onze aanpak om deze nieuwe milieukosten met u te delen is alsvolgt:
Zimmer heeft een recycling contract gesloten met European Advanced Recycling Network (EARN) en zal de kosten dragen voor de recycling en hergebruik van de apparaten na ontvangst bij de EARN vestiging in België. Al het nieuwe afval dat ontstaat na aanschaf van een Zimmer product kan als niet gevaarlijk afval worden geclassificeerd.

Vårt sätt att fördela de nya miljökostnaderna är:

Allt historiskt och nytt WEEE som uppstår från inköpta Zimmer-produkter är klassificerat som icke-farligt avfall.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is a European Directive which requires producers to make arrangements for the collection and recycling of WEEE. The Directive is transposed into national law by EU Member States. Switzerland is not a member of the European Union or of the European Economic Area, and therefore has no obligation to follow EU policy.
Producer responsibility for the take-back of electrical and electronic equipment in Switzerland is covered by the Ordinance on the Return, Take-back and Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (ORDEE). The Ordinance came into force on July 1st 1998 and an amendment came into force in January 2005 which extended the scope of the Ordinance to increase the number of categories of electrical and electronic equipment which are covered.
The requirements of ORDEE are different from the requirements of the WEEE Directive. In particular, the categories of equipment which are covered by ORDEE do not include any of the types of equipment produced by Zimmer. ORDEE does not place any requirements on Zimmer, or any dealers of Zimmer products, to provide collection and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment in Switzerland.
Under the proposed UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, for equipment that you buy from Zimmer after August 2005, Zimmer is required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of WEEE that your new purchase replaces, on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis. The old equipment that your new purchase from Zimmer replaces is referred to as Historic WEEE.
Under the UK WEEE Regulations, Zimmer is also required to provide arrangements for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of any new electrical and electronic equipment that you buy from them after August 2005, when that new equipment eventually becomes waste. This is referred to as New WEEE.
Zimmer is required to provide these arrangements starting from 1 April 2007.
Zimmer is an environmentally responsible company. We have decided to provide WEEE collection and recycling arrangements for all Zimmer electrical and electronic equipment, regardless of when it was purchased and when it became waste.
