Weee - Waste Of Electrical And Electronic Equipment - American Audio VMS2 User Manual

22. WEEE – W E E E
ASTE OF LECTRICAL AND LECTRONIC QUIPMENT
Every year thousands of tons of electronic components, which are harmful to the
environment, end up at the waste disposals around the world. To ensure the best possible
disposal or recovery of electronic components, the European Union has adopted the WEEE
directive.
The WEEE-system (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) can be compared with the
system of the "Green Spot", which has been in use for several years. The manufactures have
to make their contribution to the utilization of waste at the time they release the product.
Money resources obtained by doing so will be applied to develop a common system of waste
management. Thereby we can ensure professional and environmentally friendly scraping
and recycling program.
As manufactures, we are part of the German system of EAR and we make our contribution
towards it.
(Registration in Germany: DE41027552)
That means that products of AMERICAN DJ® and AMERICAN AUDIO® can be left in the
collection points free of charge and they will be used in the recycling program. Products of
ELATION Professional, which are used only by professionals, shall be handled by us. Please
send Elation products directly to us at the end of their lifetime so that we can professionally
dispose of them.
Like the above ROHS, the WEEE directive is an important contribution to the environment
protection and we are glad to help to clean the environment with this disposal system.
