Taking the Product Back and Recycling
The European Union has passed a directive called Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment,
or WEEE in short, to ensure that systems are setup throughout the EU for the collection,
treating and recycling of electronic waste.
This ensures that the devices are recycled in a resource-saving way, representing no danger
to health or the environment.

WEEE symbol
The WEEE symbol on the product or its packaging shows that the product must not be
disposed of as residual garbage.
The user is obliged to collect the old devices separately and return them to the WEEE take-
back system for recycling.
The WEEE directive concerns all ETAS devices but not the external cables or batteries.
