EU Directive 2002/96/EC “Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)” impacts most
distributors, sellers, and manufacturers of consumer electronics in the European Union. The WEEE Directive
requires the producer of consumer electronics to take responsibility for the management of waste from their
products to achieve environmentally responsible disposal during the product life cycle.
WEEE compliance may not be required in your location for electrical & electronic equipment (EEE), nor may it
be required for EEE designed and intended as fi xed or temporary installation in transportation vehicles such
as automobiles, aircraft, and boats. In some European Union member states, these vehicles are considered
outside of the scope of the Directive, and EEE for those applications can be considered excluded from the
WEEE Directive requirement.

of with other household refuse. It must be disposed of and collected for recycling and
recovery of waste EEE. Johnson Outdoors Inc. will mark all EEE products in accordance
with the WEEE Directive. It is our goal to comply in the collection, treatment, recovery,
and environmentally sound disposal of those products; however, these requirement do
vary within European Union member states. For more information about where you should
dispose of your waste equipment for recycling and recovery and/or your European Union
member state requirements, please contact your dealer or distributor from which your
product was purchased.
