Until the pieces can no longer be used, the best course of action for ecologically aware consumers is to sell or give their goods to another consumer, thereby avoiding disposal altogether.However, should a product require disposal, we are currently establishing a comprehensive program whereby consumers can return their Viesso goods for complete recycling at no charge. Until such a program is finalized, we are happy to talk with our customers about returning their products to ensure proper reuse of as many parts as possible.Thank you.

There's no mention of how these products can be recycled. Is : "(a) made from recycled materials, (b) made from natural materials, and (c) manufactured in a manner that reduces environmental impact" good enough ? OR... should there be a (d), which states: "all manufactured items are returnable to their comapny of manufacture, who will disassemble them into parts that are actually recycled." ? And if so... who pays the costs ? Making something that could possibly be recycled is not the same as making something that at its inception has a built in recycling process & protocol. The latter, in my opinion, is GREEN... anything is is just posing as green. Nice effort… but one thing seems lacking. There’s no mention of how these products can be recycled.
