Environmental Impacts
| End Of Life | Recyclability potential: 26% |
|---|---|
| Recyclability rate has been calculated based on REEECY'LAB tool developed by Ecosystem, for components/materials not covered by the tool, data from the "ECO'DEEE recyclability and recoverability calculation method" was taken. If no data was found a conservative assumption was used (0% recyclability). | |
| Reference service life time | 20 years |
| Product category | Unequipped enclosures and cabinets |
| Installation elements | No special components needed. The disposal of the packaging materials are accounted during the installation phase (including transport to disposal). |
| Use scenario | Non applicable for unequipped enclosures and cabinets |
