21. Notes on disposal
In order to avoid any possible effects resulting from the disposal of electrical and
electronic equipment containing substances damaging to the environment and
human health, the European Parliament and Council directives
■
2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and
■
2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS)
have been transferred into national law in all EU member states.
The primary aim of the legislation is the prevention of waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment, and also the recycling, material recovery and any other form of
recovery of such waste in order to reduce the quantities of waste to be disposed of
and the amount of hazardous substances from electrical and electronic
equipment in waste.
The product that you have purchased was developed in line with the current state
of the art in an environmentally friendly manner and with a view to recycling. It
therefore meets the specifications of the European directives.
The product is labelled with the symbol illustrated. If you wish to dispose
