The recycling of Sony monitors bearing the “Blue Angel” eco-label

Sony guarantees that monitors with the “Blue Angel” eco-label will be retrieved and recycled, provided that they are accompanied by a redemption voucher. Monitors can be returned to more than 500 collection points throughout Germany. For more information about a collection point close to you, please dial the Sony Hotline number: 0180 52 52 586 (in Germany only).

After used monitors are retrieved and registered at the collection points, they are transferred to recycling companies.
