Disposal Considerations
Waste treatment methods, disposal recommendations, and waste codes
The product does not contain substances that are not degraded in sewage treatment plants. The contained cationic compounds are biodegradable at high dilution. In the sewage system, they are adequately diluted and rendered ineffective by other wastewater components. Therefore, the working solution (dilution 1:200, 5 ml of AquaClean to 1 liter of water) can be disposed of via the sewage system in accordance with local regulations. In case of disposal of the concentrate, please dilute 1:200 prior to disposal via sewage system.
Do not dispose of together with household waste. Do not allow undiluted product to enter the sewage system.
