Manufacturer/Importer Information in accordance with § 18, paragraph 4 ElektroG (new)
The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) contains a variety of requirements for handling electrical and electronic equipment. The most important ones are summarized here.

Obliged to take back under the regulation are sales outlets for electrical and electronic equipment with a sales area of at least 400 m², as well as food retailers with a sales area of at least 800 m², if they permanently or repeatedly offer or place electrical and electronic equipment on the market. The provisions also apply to sales using distance communication methods, if the storage and shipping areas for electrical and electronic equipment are at least 400 m², or the total storage and shipping areas are at least 800 m². Distributors must generally ensure take-back through suitable return options within reasonable distance from the end user. Among other things, there is the possibility of free return of a waste device to an obliged distributor if a new, equivalent device is handed over to the end user, which essentially fulfills the same functions. If a new device is delivered to a private household, an equivalent waste device can also be handed over there for free collection. This applies to sales using distance communication methods for devices in categories 1, 2, or 4 in accordance with § 2, paragraph 1 ElektroG. These include “heat exchangers,” “screen devices,” and “large devices,” provided the latter have at least one external dimension of more than 50 cm. End users will be asked about their intention to return at the conclusion of a purchase contract. The option of free return also exists at the distributors’ collection points, regardless of the purchase of a new device, for waste devices that do not exceed 25 cm in any external dimension, limited to three waste devices per device type.

4. Data protection notice
Waste equipment often contains sensitive personal data. This applies in particular to information and telecommunications equipment such as computers and smartphones. Please note, for your own interest, that each end user is responsible for deleting data on the waste equipment to be disposed of.

Note on the disposal of used batteries
The following notice is addressed to those who use batteries or products with built-in batteries and no longer resell them in the form delivered (end users):

a. Free return of used batteries

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. You are legally obliged to return used batteries to ensure proper disposal. You can return used batteries to a municipal collection point or to local retailers.

Distributors of batteries are obliged to take them back, provided they carry or have carried batteries of the same type in their assortment.

Since AEON GmbH as the original distributor no longer exists, its legal obligation to take back batteries has expired.

Voluntarily and without acknowledgment of any legal obligation, we accept the return of used batteries from products that were purchased directly from AEON GmbH.

For used batteries from Nevo products, we kindly ask you to contact Nevo GmbH directly.

Eligible used batteries can be sent to us sufficiently stamped or handed in directly to us free of charge:
