Disassembly for recycling
Before disassembling, please consider if the product can be reused/repurposed through our Fora ReForm programme. For more information, please visit our website at www.Foraform.com .
Once the product is dismantled as described under Disassembly Instructions further disassembly is required for recycling. To maximize recycling, components need to be broken down by material content and separated appropriately. Though simple hand tools can do the job, power tools are needed for all but the smallest job. Screw and nut drivers with the appropriate bits are the most frequently used.
