1.7.1 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (hereinafter referred to as the “WEEE directive”)
places an obligation on EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers to take-back electronics
products at the end of their useful life. A sister directive, RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
complements the WEEE directive by banning the presence of specific hazardous substances in the products at
the design phase. The WEEE directive covers all VERIPOS products imported into the EU as of August 13,
2005. EU-based manufacturers, distributors, retailers and importers are obliged to finance the costs of recovery
f rom municipal collection points, reuse, and recycling of specified percentages per the requirements contained
in the WEEE Directive.
Instructions for disposal of WEEE by users in the European Union
Products which have the undernoted symbol located on either the product itself or its packaging indicates that
the p
roduct must not be disposed of with other waste. Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of the
product by handing it over to a designated collection point for the recycling of WEEE. The symbol shown below
is on the product or on its packaging, which indicates that this product must not be disposed of with other waste.
Instead, it is the user’s responsibility to dispose of their waste equipment by handing it over to a designated
collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
The separate collection and recycling of your WEEE at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural
resources and ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more
inf ormation about recycling centres, please contact the local city office, the household waste disposal service or
the product supplier.
