Old machine return programme As from 2005 the lawmakers will extend the responsibility of the manufacturer for its products and their effects on the environment. This applies to electric and electronic equipment, which must be taken back and recycled free of charge after its useful life. We are already working hard on preparations to comply with the new legislation and guarantee trouble-free product returns as from 2005.

Ban on substances In connection with the return of old machines, several harmful substances, such as lead and cadmium will be banned in electric and electronic equipment. We already do without harmful substances wherever possible. The yellow parts of Kärcher machines have not contained cadmium for many years.
