Environmental impact
Electrical and Electronic appliances are an integral part of our daily lives. In order to avoid any
possible adverse effects resulting from the disposal of such equipment, which contain
substances damaging to the environment and health, the Council directives 2002/96/EC and
2002/95/EC of the European Parliament have been transposed into national law in all EU
member states:
2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and 2002/95/ EC
on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment (ROHS).
Due to hazardous contents Waste Electrical, Electronic Equipment (WEEE) cause
environmental and human health issues during the waste management process if not properly
pre-treated (sorted/separated, contaminants removed, baled, crushed etc).
WEEE's that are disposed of to landfill, incinerated or recovered without any pretreatment
have potentially serious consequences.
You will find a crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the base of the eircom 8010R. The symbol
means that the equipment should not be disposed of with general household waste.
