WEEE
Disposal of the equipment by the users within the European Community ( WEEE) in compliance with the article 13 of the legislative decree is-
sued on 25 July 2005, nr151 ”Implementation of the directives 2002/95/CE,2002/96/CE e 2003/108/CE, concerning the decrease in the usage of
dangerous substances in the electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of waste”.
The symbol of the crossed waste bin indicated on the equipment or on the packaging means that the product at the end of its lifetime must
be disposed of separately from all the other waste.
The separate collection of this equipment coming at the end of its lifetime is organized and run by the importer/distributor. The user who
should have to dispose of such equipment should get in touch with the importer/ distributor and follow the procedure they have adopted for
the separate disposal of the equipment coming at the end of its lifetime. The proper separate disposal of disused equipment so that it can
be recycled and treated according what is environmentally compatible contributes to avoid possible negative effects on the Environment and
on Health and allows the reutilization and/or the recycling of the materials the equipment is composed of.
The improper disposal by the user causes the enforcement of the administrative sanctions according to current regulations.
