Disposal of defective brake components | HELLA

The company environmental protection is an important criteria in day-to-day workshop activities for every garage. Waste is produced in the scope of the inspection or repair work every day that must not or cannot be disposed of in domestic waste. The different types of waste have been standardized by the European Union in the European Waste List (EWL). All types of waste have been assigned with a cross-border waste identification code.
