Recycling and take-back of electrical equipment, batteries and accumulators

UniMark CZ, s.r.o. supports responsible handling of end-of-life electrical equipment and used batteries. We therefore offer customers simple options for free take-back in accordance with current legislation.

What to return

Where to return it

You can use the REMA collection network, re:Balík, BUĎ LÍNÝ or hand over old equipment during personal collection.

Why recycle
