WEEE Statement
(Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
The WEEE directive places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors,
retailers and importers to take-back electronics products at the end of their useful life. A
sister Directive, ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliments the WEEE
Directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at
the design phase. The WEEE Directive covers products imported into the EU as of
August 13, 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are
obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal collection points, reuse, and
recycling of specified percentages per the WEEE requirements.
Instructions for disposal of WEEE by Users in the European Union
The symbol shown below is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this
product must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility
to dispose of their waste equipment by handing it over to a designated collection point
for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. The separate collection
and recycling of your waste equipment at the time of disposal will help to conserve
natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health
and the environment. For more information about where you can drop off your waste
equipment for recycling, please contact your local city office, your household waste
disposal service or where you purchased the product.
