13. Disposal considerations

Product:
There are no harmonised regulations on the disposal of chemicals in the member states
of the EU. In Germany, the Recycling and Waste Management Act (KrW-/AbfG) stipulates
recycling as a requirement. This means that a distinction must be made between "wastes
for recycling" and "wastes for disposal". Particular aspects - in the main concerning
delivery - are also governed by the Laender. Please contact the competent body
(authority or waste disposal company) where you will obtain information on recycling
or disposal.
The contact person at Merck KGaA in Darmstadt is attainable through the tel. no.
06151/726611 (within Germany).
++49 6151 726102 (from Austria and Switzerland).
Packaging:
Disposal in compliance with official regulations. Handle contaminated packaging in the
same way as the substance itself. If not officially specified differently, non-
contaminated packaging may be treated like household waste or recycled.
