1.6 Recycling in accordance
with WEEE
BtoB disposal
Dear Weidmüller Customer, purchasing our product
gives you the opportunity to return the device to
Weidmüller at the end of its service life.
The EU Directive 2002/ 96 EC
(WEEE) regulates the return and re-
cycling of waste electrical and elec-
tronics equipment. In the Business-
to-Business sector (BtoB), manufac-
turers of electrical equipment are
obliged as of 13/08/05 to take back
and recycle free-of-charge electrical
equipment sold after that date. After that date, elec-
trical equipment must not be disposed through the
"normal waste disposal channels". Electrical equip-
ment must then be disposed of and recycled sepa-
rately.
All devices that fall under the directive must feature
this logo.
What we can do for you?
Weidmüller offers you the possibility of returning
your old device to us at no extra charge. Weidmüller
will then professionally recycle and dispose of your
device in accordance with the actual laws.
What do you have to do?
Once your device has reached the end of its life cy-
cle, simply return it (in the carton) to the Weidmüller
sales agent responsible for you. We will then take
care of all recycling and waste disposal measures.
You will incur no costs or suffer any inconvenience.
