Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Background
The European Union's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
(2002/96/EC) has been implemented in member states as of August 13, 2005. This
directive, which seeks to reduce the waste of electrical and electronic equipment through
re-use, recycling, and recovery, imposes several requirements on producers. Schick
Technologies and its Dealers are committed to complying with the Directive.
WEEE Marking
All Schick products subject to the WEEE Directive and shipped after August 13, 2005 will
be compliant with the WEEE marking requirements. These products will be identified with
the "crossed-out wheeled bin" WEEE symbol shown below, as defined in European
Standard EN 50419, and in accordance with WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC.
This "crossed-out wheeled bin" symbol on the product or on its packaging
indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other unsorted municipal
waste. Instead, it is user's responsibility to dispose of EE waste equipment by
handing it over to a designated collection point for the reuse or recycling of waste
electrical and electronic equipment. The separate collection and reuse or recycling
of Electrical & Electronic waste equipment will help to conserve natural resources
and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects the environment and human
health. For more information about where you can drop off your waste equipment
for recycling, please contact your local officials.
Reporting
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will ensure that
information needed to calculate the financial obligations with respect to EEE products will
be provided as required.
WEEE from Users other than Private Households
According to the WEEE Directive, Schick Technologies or its Dealers will fulfill its
obligations for the management of WEEE from users other than private households.
Furthermore, as required by the WEEE Directive, in order to enable the date upon which
the equipment was put on the market to be determined unequivocally, a mark on the
equipment will be placed to specify that the equipment was put on the market after August
13, 2005.
