EU WEEE statements

EU Only
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) mark applies only to countries within the European
Union (EU) and Norway. Appliances are labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC
concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for
the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is
applied to various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon
end of life per this Directive.
Users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the WEEE
Directive must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework
available to them for the return, recycle, recovery of WEEE and minimize any potential effects of EEE on
the environment and human health due to the presence of hazardous substances. For additional WEEE
information go to: http://www.lenovo.com/recycling.
