2.7 Disposal and Instrument Takeback / Recycling Program
We strongly recommend storing the transport box in case you need to ship the instrument back for upgrade
or repair. In case of disposing the unit please adhere to these guidelines:
2.7.1 Disposal of Transport Packing
Straps to fix the packing on pallet, edge protection, air cushion styrofoam, and plastic foil must be disposed
of and recycled according to your local "plastic recycling" policy.
Transport cardboard box must be disposed of and recycled according to your local "paper recycling" policy.

2.7.2 WEEE Compliance

The European Union Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) is a Producer
Responsibility Directive aimed at reducing the waste from electrical equipment, increasing recovery and
recycling rates of WEEE and improving environmental performance of all operators involved in the life cycle
of electrical and electronic equipment.
The directive specifies that, as of August 13, 2005, manufacturers of specified electronic equipment will be
obliged to take back these products at the end of their useful life.
BMG LABTECH will comply with the WEEE take back requirements for BMG LABTECH branded product
sold in the EU after August 13, 2005.
BMG LABTECH customers based in Europe can take advantage of the BMG LABTECH Takeback and
Recycle Program. Please check BMG LABTECH's website for country-specific availability.
This Takeback and Recycle Program ensures that you can ship the product back to BMG LABTCH for
proper handling at the end of its useful life. Disposal will be carried out in an environmentally safe manner
using processes that comply with all current eWaste regulations where applicable.
Upon completion of the recycling process BMG LABTECH will provide, on request, a Certificate of
Destruction (COD). This will release your business from any further liability for the equipment.
