1.8 Waste electrical and electronic equipment
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (hereinafter
referred to as the “WEEE directive”) places an obligation on EU-based
manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers to take back electronic
products at the end of their useful life. A sister directive, RoHS (Restriction
of Hazardous Substances) complements the WEEE directive by banning the
presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at the design
phase. The WEEE directive covers all VERIPOS products imported into the
EU as of August 13 2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers
and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery from municipal
collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the
requirements contained in the WEEE Directive.
Instructions for disposal of WEEE by users in the European Union
Products which have the undernoted symbol located on either the product
itself or its packaging indicates that the product must not be disposed of with
other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of the product
by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of
WEEE.
The separate collection and recycling of your WEEE at the time of disposal
will help to conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a
manner that protects human health and the environment. For more
information about recycling centres, please contact the local city office, the
household waste disposal service or the product supplier.
