13 Waste disposal and environmental protection
All electrical and electronic products must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
The correct disposal of old equipment prevents ecological damage and health
hazards.
Statutory waste disposal mark
The electrical and electronic devices that bear this sym­
bol are subject to European waste electrical and elec­
tronic equipment directive 2002/96/EC.
The symbol indicates that the device must not be dis­
posed of as household garbage.
In accordance with national and local environmental protection and material
recovery and recycling regulations, old modules that can no longer be used
must be disposed of separately and not with normal household garbage.
If you need more information about waste disposal, please contact your local
authorities or the dealer from whom you purchased the product.
As waste disposal regulations within the EU may differ from country to country,
we ask that you contact your supplier as necessary.
Packaging
The original packaging of HBM devices is made from recyclable material and
can be sent for recycling. For ecological reasons, empty packaging should not
be returned to us.
Environmental protection
The product will comply with general hazardous substances limits for at least
20 years, and will be ecologically safe to use during this period, as well as
recyclable. This is documented by the following symbol.
