Disposal of LINAK’s products
As LINAK’s customers often ask us how our products can be disposed or scrapped we have prepared this
guidance that enables a classifi cation to different waste fractions for recycling or combustion.
Guidance
We recommend our products to be disassembled as much as possible and divided into different waste groups
for recycling or combustion.
For example, waste can be sorted into metals, plastics, cable scrap, combustible material, and recoverable
resources.
Some of these main groups can be further divided into subgroups; e.g. metal can be divided into steel/
aluminium/copper and plastic can be divided into ABS/PA/PE/PP.
As an example, the table below breaks down the different components in LINAK products to various recycling
groups:
Product Components Recycling group

By now almost all our casted plastic parts are supplied with an interior code for plastic type and fi bre contents,
if any.
