Equipment (WEEE)

Environmental protection
The European Parliament and the
Council of the European Union
have issued the Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equip¦ment
Directive. The purpose of the
Directive is the prevention of waste
of electrical and electronic
equipment, and to promote the
reuse and recycling and other
forms of recovery of such waste. As
such the Directive concerns
producers, distributors and
consumers.
The WEEE directive requires that
both manufacturers and end-
consumers dispose of electrical and
electronic equipment and parts in
an environmentally safe manner,
and that equipment and waste are
reused or recovered for their
materials or energy.
Electrical and electronic equipment
and parts must not be disposed of
with ordinary household refuse; all
electrical and electronic equipment
and parts must be collected and
disposed of separately.
Products and equipment which
must be collected for reuse,
recycling and other forms of
recovery are marked with the
pictogram shown.
When disposing of electrical and
electronic equipment by use of the
collection systems available in your
country, you protect the
environment, human health and
contribute to the prudent and
rational use of natural resources.
Collecting electrical and electronic
equipment and waste prevents the
potential contamination of nature
with the hazardous substances
which may be present in electrical
and electronic products and
equipment.
Your Bang & Olufsen retailer will
assist with and advise you of the
correct way of disposal in your
country.
