Waste Disposal and Environmental Regulations

WEEE Notice
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which
entered into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major
change in the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life. The purpose of
this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to
promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to
reduce the disposal of waste.
The WEEE logo on the product or on its box indicates that this product must not
be disposed of or dumped with household waste. The owner of the equipment is
liable to dispose of all electronic or electrical waste equipment by delivering it
to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste. Collec-
tion and proper recovery of electronic and electrical waste equipment at the
time of disposal will allow the producer to help conserve natural resources.
Recycling of the electronic and electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of
human health and the environment. For more information about electronic and
electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery and collection points, please con-
tact your local waste disposal service or producer / distributor of this equip-
ment.
If your equipment contains removable batteries or accumulators please dispose
of these separately according to local regulations.
