Ecology

We take responsibility - because the world of tomorrow should have a chance for a future! Environmental protection is documented within the framework of ISO 9001:2015 both in CONTA-CLIP's quality policy and in the individual process and work instructions. The aim is to protect the environment and avoid environmental pollution in harmony with social and economic requirements.

Germany is a global driving force in climate protection, in efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and promotes air and water pollution control through some of the most progressive legislation in the world.

The environmental awareness of our employees is demanded and promoted, and we face up to this task every day. Our corporate contribution in detail: 

• Heat recovery, lighting control via daylight sensors and motion detectors 
• Controllers for temperature control 
• Use of high-quality reflectors to reduce the need for fluorescent lighting 
• Saving on artificial light by installing strip lighting in the production and assembly halls 
• Transport and outer packaging and filling materials made from reusable materials or recyclable materials 
• Use of recyclable materials wherever possible 
• Use of products with the "Blue Angel" eco-label Prioritising 
• Use of LED lighting 
• Photovoltaic system on the hall roofs at the Hövelhof site with a system output of 228.735 kWh. The electricity produced can largely be used within the company itself 
• Insulation of buildings and roofs far beyond the standard 
• Servo-controlled compressors 
• REACH compliance 
• RoHs compliance

Environmental statement of CONTA-CLIP Verbindungstechnik GmbH (PDF)

The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (ElektroG) contains a large number of requirements for the handling of electrical and electronic equipment. The most important ones are summarised here.

1. separate collection of old appliances 

Electrical and electronic appliances that have become waste are referred to as old appliances. Owners of old appliances must dispose of them separately from unsorted municipal waste. In particular, old appliances do not belong in household waste, but in special collection and return systems.

2. batteries and rechargeable batteries and lamps 

Owners of waste appliances must separate waste batteries and accumulators that are not enclosed in the waste appliance, as well as lamps that can be removed from the waste appliance without destroying them, from the waste appliance as a rule before handing them in at a collection point. This does not apply if waste equipment is prepared for reuse with the involvement of a public waste management organisation.

3. Options for returning old appliances 

We work together with several qualified recycling companies to provide options for returning old appliances. If an appliance manufactured by us has become an old appliance and you would like to return it, please contact:

and complete the questionnaire

4. data protection notice 

Waste devices often contain sensitive personal data. This applies in particular to information and telecommunications technology devices such as computers and smartphones. In your own interest, please note that each end user is responsible for deleting the data on the old devices to be disposed of.

5. Meaning of the "crossed-out wheeled bin" symbol

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol regularly displayed on electrical and electronic appliances indicates that the appliance in question must be collected separately from unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life.

6. manufacturer registration number

As a producer within the meaning of the ElektroG, we are registered with the responsible foundation Elektro-Altgeräte Register (Benno-Strauß-Str. 1, 90763 Fürth) under the following registration number: DE62448959
