Keilhauer is not responsible for slight deviations in the data and information contained in this document. Product recyclability and material content data is calculated using base models only. Textiles and associated weights are not accounted for in the analysis. Criteria for recyclability has been assessed against available recycling facilities in at least of the 0 U.S. EPA regions. Average recyclability is based on individual component weights. Some Keilhauer parts are adhered together which can present challenges when disassembling.

3 End of Product Life Introduction Keilhauer lounge pieces create beautiful, relaxed spaces that foster easy conversation and quiet contemplation. Once your Keilhauer chair or component reaches the end of its life, the whole product doesn t have to end up in a landfill. Many of the parts and materials still have value, and can be repaired, replaced, or recycled to avoid an afterlife as waste. This document provides instructions for component disassembly that can be applied to our Lounge chair collection. A detailed breakdown of components and the materials they are made of for each product follows the instructions, as well as an outline of how to recycle these components after disassembly. should take between 0-0 minutes depending on the product and model. Safety glasses and safety gloves are recommended throughout the disassembly process.

4 Repairability and Recyclability Keilhauer products are made to last a long and useful life, therefore products are component based and are designed with modularity in mind. We take pride in the extra steps we take to ensure that parts are indeed replaceable over time. We also ensure that we mean what we say with our 0 year Warranty Policy (see our Warranty Policy for more details). Depending on the specific model and year, product parts can generally be easily repaired or simply replaced at home using standard tools. Some components are more complex and require the assistance of a trained Keilhauer Service Technician for replacement. For more details about your specific product, please contact our Warranty department. The following are our standard components and general information on replaceability.

9 Recycling the Disassembled Product Our goal is Closed-Loop Manufacturing, and this extends to our product s end of useful life. Through our Design for Environment (DFE) program, we ensure that we design our products with high quality, long-lasting materials. We also aim to design them to be easily disassembled, and that the materials are recyclable across all municipalities. Our efforts, along with the efforts of many municipalities across the globe have taken great strides towards environmentally responsible materials management. Still, some materials may or may not be fully recyclable in certain areas. The recyclability of a material depends on the volume available, whether there is an end market for the material, purity of the material (avoid coatings, mixed materials, etc.), and availability of recycling infrastructure (is there a collection method, a processing facility, etc.). The following outline provides some basic information regarding the most common Keilhauer materials.
