WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (hereinafter referred to as the
"WEEE directive") places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers
and importers to take back electronic products at the end of their useful life. A sister
directive, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) complements the WEEE directive
by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at the design
phase. The WEEE directive covers all VERIPOS 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 requirements contained in the WEEE Directive.
Instructions for disposal of WEEE by users in the European Union
Products which have the undernoted symbol located on either the product itself or its
packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is
the user's responsibility to dispose of the product by handing it over to a designated
collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (hereinafter
referred to as "WEEE").
The separate collection and recycling of your WEEE 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 recycling centres, please contact
the local city office, the household waste disposal service or the product supplier.
