Disassembly and recycling
Except for certain parts of the control unit, energy recovery is
possible for almost all material in CuroCell® products through
incineration in waste incineration facilities.
NOTE! If it is assessed that the product is or could be con‐
taminated (e.g. used by users with a known bloodborne in‐
fection), the product must be handled in accordance with the
healthcare provider's or local authority's procedures for
contaminated waste.
Control unit:
The air tube connector (marked 'CPR') is easy to disassemble
and is sorted as "plastic waste". The other parts of the
control unit must not be disassembled and are sorted as
"electronic waste".
Mattress:
A used CuroCell® mattress should be taken to a recycling
center. The product is sorted as 'combustible waste'.
