| WEEE
Directive
The
European Union’s ‘Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) directive aims to reduce the amount of waste
being sent to landfill. It also aims to ensure that recovered
WEEE is treated to appropriate standards and targets.
The
WEEE directive has begun its implementation in the EU member states
as of August 2005. The directive aims to recover 4kg of separately
collected WEEE per head of the population.

| Products
that fall within the scope of WEEE display this symbol, either on
the product itself or on the outer packaging. At the end of its
life, the product should be sent out to a designated collection
facility or returned to the retailer when a similar, new product
is purchased. Due to the potentially hazardous substances which
may be found in electrical equipment, improper handling of this
type of waste could have a negative effect on the environment and
human health. Therefore, your cooperation in helping correctly dispose
of such products will contribute to the environment and help reduce
the unnecessary usage of natural resources. |
