7.1 Disposal
The Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) Directive aims to
minimize any adverse impact of electronic
equipment on the environment, both during
the product lifetime and when it becomes
waste. Within the European Union this
legislation is mandated by Directive
2012/19/EU, and there is similar legislation in
most other continents. The directive applies
to all electronic products such as IT,
household appliances, portable electronics
etc., and imposes requirements to collect,
treat, recover and recycle each product at its end of life. Electronic end-user
products must also carry a WEEE label (as below) and recovery and recycling
information has to be provided to the recycler.
This AIS SART product contains traces of lithium in the battery pack. In
keeping with the directive, Netwave strongly recommends that this AIS SART
product and its battery pack be disposed of in a sensible and considerate
manner. For example, do not simply discard the product in the domestic
waste. Instead take it to a civil recycling facility or contact Netwave for advice.
