WEEE
Background
The European Union’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Directive (2002/96/EC) has been implemented in member
states as of August 13, 2005. This directive, which seeks to reduce the
waste of electrical and electronic equipment through re-use, recycling,
and recovery, imposes several requirements on producers. Sirona
Dental and its Dealers are committed to complying with the Directive.
All Sirona products subject to the WEEE Directive and shipped after
August 13, 2005 will be compliant with WEEE marking requirements.
These products will be identified with the “crossed-out wheeled bin”
WEEE symbol shown below, as defined in European Standard EN
50419, and in accordance with WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC.
This “crossed-out wheeled bin” symbol on the product or its packaging
indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other unsorted
municipal waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) by handing it over to a
designated collection point for the reuse or recycling of waste electrical
and electronic equipment. The separate collection and reuse or
recycling of Electrical and Electronic waste equipment will help to
conserve natural resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner
that protects the environment and human health. For more information
about where you can drop off your waste equipment for recycling,
please contact your local officials.
WEEE from Users Other than Private Households
According to the WEEE Directive, Sirona Dental or its Dealers will fulfill
its obligations for the management of WEEE from users other than
private households. Furthermore, as required by the WEEE Directive, in
order to determine unequivocally when the equipment was put on the
market, the manufacturer’s date is placed on the equipment.
Information for Reuse Centers, Treatment and Recycling Facilities
As required by the WEEE Directive, Sirona Dental or its Dealers will
provide reuse, treatment, and recycling information for each type of new
EEE put on the market within one year of the date in which the
equipment is put on the market.
Information will include the different EEE components and materials as
well as the location of substances in these items. The information will be
provided as a printed document or in electronic media (on CD-ROM or
by web download, for example).
