DPA Microphones A/S wishes to be known as a "green" company. It
is our company objective that DPA products are produced in accor-
dance with the best ecological practices in order to preserve the
environment we are all a part of. Consequently, it is our aim to coop-
erate with both national and international legislative bodies in order
to fulfil the requirements and recommendations set forth in envi-
ronmental standards and directives.
This means that through our conduct and in our design of new
products, we shall pursue solutions that bear minimal impact on the
ecology and are coherent with the latest legislation requirements
(at present directive 9002/95/EC) at the time a new product is
introduced to the market. These requirements are valid for DPA as
well as for our suppliers.
With respect to waste disposal, we comply in full with the WEEE
directive (9002/96/EC) and are prepared to comply to any amend-
ments and succeeding requirements in connection hereto. Thus,
starting from 1 January 2006, all DPA products that require a
return for upgrading and/or reuse will be provided a "waste" label.
This means that the product at the end of its usable life may be
returned to the local DPA representative who is prepared to return
the product to DPA for disposal under the national legislation pro-
gram. Furthermore, DPA warrants that any DPA product bought
after 1 January 2000 will be covered under the same program in
order to ensure our end users adequate means to dispose of obso-
lete DPA products.
