At the end of its useful life, your product is considered to
be Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
As such, it is important to note that:
• WEEE is not to be disposed of as unsorted
municipal waste. It is to be collected
separately such that it can be disassembled so
its components and materials can be recycled,
re-used, and recovered (burned for energy
content in electricity production).
• Public collection points have been set up by
municipalities for the collection of WEEE, free
of charge to you.
• Please return your WEEE to the collection
facility nearest your home or office.
• If you have difficulty locating a collection
facility, the retailer that sold you the product
should accept your WEEE.
• If you are no longer in contact with your
retailer, please contact ACCO for assistance
with this matter.
• Recycling of WEEE is geared toward
protecting the environment, protecting
human health, preserving raw materials,
improving sustainable development, and
ensuring a better supply of commodities in
the European Union. This will be achieved by
retrieving valuable secondary raw materials
and reducing the disposal of waste. You can
contribute to the success of these goals by
returning your WEEE to a collection facility.
• Your product is marked with the WEEE
symbol (wheelie bin with an X through it). This
symbol is to inform you that WEEE is not to be
disposed of as unsorted municipal waste.
