WEEE Advisement Disposal and Acknowledgment
In 2002 the European Union introduced the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
The main aim of the Directive is to ensure that WEEE is collected and treated separately. WEEE may contain
hazardous substances that should not end-up in the (human) environment and can have adverse effects on it if they
do.
Furthermore, WEEE is a vast source of raw materials. With the ever rising worldwide demand for new equipment
and the ever decreasing volume of natural raw materials, letting this potential source go to waste is unacceptable.
If equipment is collected separately, the equipment can be recycled and up to 85 to 90% of the equipment can be
re-used as new material, saving the use of virgin raw materials and energy of producing these.
For above reasons, Fusion-io Inc expects end-users to dispose of the material in an environmentally friendly way.
Electrical and Electronic Equipment is labeled with the following "crossed-out wheeled bin" symbol indicating that
the equipment should be disposed of, by the end-user, separate from other types of waste.
The EU Directive and national legislation define various situations and financing options for doing so.
End-users should contact their sales representative/dealer/distributor and our company on disposal, collection and
recycling options and terms and conditions in your country.
Determining Manufacture Date
You can determine the week and year the device was manufactured by locating the serial number label on your
device and interpreting the first four numbers of the serial number.
