Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Environmental Information
Legislation is now in place within the European Union (EU) that regulates waste
from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). European Directive
2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (the WEEE
Directive) stipulates that WEEE is now subject to regulations designed to prevent
the disposal of such waste and to encourage design and treatment measures to
minimize the amount of waste that is placed into the waste stream. The objective
of the WEEE Directive is to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the
environment, protect human health, and stimulate the practical use of natural
resources. Specifically, the WEEE Directive requires that producers of electrical
and electronic equipment be responsible for the collection, reuse, recycling and
treatment of WEEE which the Producer places on the EU market after August 13,
2005.
FARO Technologies, Inc., as a producer of electrical and electronic equipment
(EEE), has endeavored to meet these environmental responsibilities for
managing WEEE. In so doing, FARO is providing the following to inform its
