Information on electrical and electronic appliances

The professional and environmentally friendly disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment is also an important issue for us. In the following, we would therefore like to inform you about the various disposal options with the aim of sustainable recycling of raw materials.

How do I know if a waste electrical or electronic appliance falls under the German Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG)?

Electronic devices that are placed on the European market must be marked with the "crossed-out wheeled garbage can" symbol.


The "crossed-out wheeled garbage can" symbol indicates to the end user that waste electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of with household waste, but separately from it.

Information on the obligation to take back old electronic devices (waste electrical and electronic equipment disposal)

As a distributor of electrical and electronic equipment, Funduino GmbH is legally obliged to take back old equipment. The quantities in which Funduino GmbH is obliged to take back old appliances can be viewed at the "Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register" (EAR).

When purchasing an electronic device in the following categories, you can order a free collection of your old device:

• Category 1 (ElektroG) - heat exchangers (e.g. air conditioning electronics)
• Category 2 (ElektroG) - Screens, monitors and devices containing them with a surface area of more than 100cm²
• Category 3 (ElektroG) - large appliances (applies if one dimension (length, width or height) of the product is >50cm)

If there is a risk to the health and safety of people due to contamination, we reserve the right to refuse acceptance.

We would like to point out that old batteries, rechargeable batteries and lamps must be removed from old devices before they are returned (as far as possible without destroying the old device).

Funduino GmbH is registered with the "Stiftung Elektro-Altgeräte Register" (EAR) with the WEEE REG. no. DE 28661619.

If you wish to dispose of old electronic equipment, please contact us. Please note our data protection information. We generally recommend that you do not affix any personal data to the old device. Therefore, please ensure that no personal data can be found on the old appliance.

In principle, all distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are obliged to take back old electronic equipment.

A return is not always necessary

As an online store for microelectronics and accessories, among other things, it is important to us to point out that it is not always necessary to return old electronic devices. Many electronic components can be reused and many "defective" devices can be repaired in a few simple steps.

If you need help with the repair of an electronic device, we recommend the "Netzwerk Reparatur-Initiativen"(https://www.reparatur-initiativen.de/orte).
